Technical Foundation

Technical training is the basic training of historical plays and techniques in a cooperative setting. This can be done at varying grades of intensity and with different levels of protective equipment. The focus lies on foundational skills and understanding of bodymechanics.

Achieving Flow

We find flow in "soft" or low-gear sparring. This is sparring with steel or foam training swords and low to no protective equipment. The focus lies on tactical decision making and technical precision in a setting of low to medium intensity competition. 

Athletic competition

For those who want to fence in an athletically challenging way, they can find it in "hard" or full-gear sparring. This is sparring with steel training swords and a full set of protective equipment. The focus lies on tactical applications in a setting of medium to high intensity competition.

Stage Combat

Stage combat is a fight that is meant for a performance. It consists of choreographed or semi-choreographed fight sequences. Despite it´s performative focus, there is still a strong relation to historically accurate techniques and realistic tactics.
