Our Sword Classes

Beginner Sword Class

The Beginner Sword Class introduces students to the core principles of swordsmanship through the longsword.

Training focuses on posture, movement, timing, distance, structure, cutting mechanics, and partner drills in a clear and supportive environment.

It is the ideal place to start for students who are new to swordsmanship.

Advanced Sword Class

The Advanced Sword Class allows students to explore the longsword in greater depth while also working with other historical weapons.

This class is for students who already have a grounding in the fundamentals and are ready for broader and more detailed weapons training.

Why we teach swordsmanship

For us, sword training is not just about learning to use a weapon. It is a powerful way to develop timing, control, intent, structure, and a deeper understanding of the principles that underpin all martial arts.

That is why swordsmanship holds an important place within the wider academy.
