  Training Program  
 
As an Associate Group of The Academy of European Medieval Marial Arts (AEMMA) , we study and train under thier general guidance, using the training program as set out in The Art of Longsword Combat Book #1. This manual can be viewed and down loaded through the following link: The ART of LONGSWORD COMBAT Book #1.
 
Our training is conducted using wooden swords known as wasters, aswell as blunted steel training swords. Our sessions are relatively informal, and structured from night to night based on attendence. A typical Monday evening begins with a warm up, followed by a period of individual sword work. The night then moves into a period of group sword work and drills, and is ended with dagger and grappling.
