Free Historical Fencing Trial Class

Come try your hand at sword fighting in our weekly introductory class for Historical European Martial arts. This class is our entry class for the San Diego Swordschool Membership program, and can either be taken as a one-off to get a taste for sword fighting, or as the initial trial class for new members.

We will cover the basics of the combat system as taught by Fiore Dei Liberi, and laid out in his 1409 treatise Il Fior De Battaglia. The system covers unarmed combat, dagger, sword, spear, pole ax, and mounted combat.

Please wear flat, thin-soled shoes that allow you to move freely.
