Getting Started in Medieval longsword is easy!  Our Beginning Longsword Class meets on Friday evenings from 7pm until 8pm. The ongoing beginner course will cover all the fundamentals of longsword. Participants purchase a class pass of 8 beginner longsword visits for $175, visits are deducted when you attend and you simply refill your class pass when you run out.  All equipment is provided, and participants can continue in that class throughout the year.

Beginning Longsword runs on rolling admission for January 2019, please come and try out a class.

Intermediate & Advanced Group Classes meet on Friday evenings from 7pm until 9pm. Building on the foundations from the beginner course, the Intermediate & Advanced group focus on footwork, bladework, and tactical progressions as well as further study into the historical manuals and techniques of medieval fencing.  This core study group will also explore other weapons in Historical Fencing including daggers, sword & buckler, and more.

Testing your Skills through Longsword Steel weapon sparring is a fun, and intense way to further your skills. Once you have assembled your own kit of safety equipment and weapons, and with your instructors approval, you can join our sparring group.
