After 1-2 years of training, you have the option to use these techniques in a competitive bouting environment, though this is not required. Students in the Techniques Class train primarily with the longsword, but are also invited to attend introductory workshops on other HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) weapons such as: rapier, dagger, grappling, spear, pollaxe, halfsword, sickle, messer, sword and buckler, and short staff.
