Sword Fighting in Liverpool

Do you like the idea of coming to sword fighting classes in Liverpool? It is great fun to learn how to use a sword according to medieval textbooks on fighting methods!

We work with authoritative sources written by medieval and renaissance masters. These books and manuscripts describe different ways of fighting with the various weapons of the day; we study these sources, and teach the historical fighting systems as modern martial arts, with high quality training swords and modern protective equipment.

At our sword fighting lessons in Liverpool, we teach from basic principles, with a strong focus on body mechanics. Our belief is that by teaching people how to do things properly, it will all work more effectively, and there will be a much smaller chance of developing a sport-related injury. Everything should be controlled and safe, both for yourself and for your training partner.

Our instructors have years of experience teaching historical sword fighting, and have taught at national and international events. We practise what we teach, putting our skills to the test in competitive settings, and have amassed quite a collection of medals and awards from competitions across the UK, Europe, and the USA.

Feel free to come along to one of our regular weekly classes and have a go, or even sit and watch a session to see if it would be of interest to you. Send us an email if you would like to ask us any questions beforehand, or just swing by and speak to the instructor on the night.

Alternatively, if you are interested in bringing a group of friends (or just yourself!) for a one-off session, please just contact us and we will be delighted to discuss it with you.
