Triangle Sword Guild

NOTE: This class is closed to first-time students.

This class is a continuation of the beginner's Renaissance fencing class, open to anyone who has completed that beginner's class. The class requires at least a fencing mask & gloves, but preferably arm and leg protection as well.

This class continues with the fundamentals of the one-handed sword (sometimes called a side sword) as taught and used in 16th-century Italy, branching into the foundations of other Renaissance weapons including rapier, sword & buckler, and dagger - all of which are studied in more depth in our Core classes.

TRAINING FEES: Our club's training fees are $40 / month for ongoing students. For new students, please refer to the Beginner's class meetup event.

DIRECTIONS: We usually meet besides the Picnic Shelter at Brier Creek Park and next to Brier Creek Community Center:

This location sometimes shows as 10810 Globe Rd or 9339 Bruckhaus St. Please contact us prior to class if there's any difficulty in finding the location. After 4:30 we're usually in the fields and it's hard to respond to inquiries.

EMAIL: Feel free email us with any questions: triangleswordguild@gmail.com.

This is an intermediate-level class in 16th-century Bolognese fencing and closed to beginning students.

This class is for current members of the Triangle Sword Guild. It serves as a space for Fiore students to build upon their skills and/or catch up to classes they might have missed. It also serves as a place where other advanced students from other Triangle Sword Guild courses can come and learn the fundamentals and basics for cross training into this curriculum.

Open enrollment for the next Trainee Level Course starts in December 2024. That class begins in January 2025.
