The people of medieval Europe had formal martial arts training, in the same way the we know people in the Far East did. They had a number of training schools, traditions and manuscripts detailing a wide range of combat for different purposes. This included self defence, judicial combat, combat for sport and military combat training.

We follow the German medieval combat traditions of Johannes Liechtenauer, and his contemporaries. In this tradition, we try to recreate the practice of unarmoured self defence training using longswords, daggers, knives and poleaxes. There are also unarmed techniques which include striking, kicking and wrestling.
