This class is a fun introduction to the fundamentals of the sword in two hands – a versatile and dynamic weapon of a less civilised age. You’ll learn basic footwork, cuts and parries, and be introduced to important principles of fencing from historical treatises. And then put it all into action!

This session is suitable for all over 14. All gear provided – just bring yourself and wear comfortable sports clothes and light shoes with non marking soles.
