Historical Fencing
We use swords like they did in the old days. The really old days. Back when Spain was full of gold, capes were rightfully in style and hats had feathers taller than a house cat.
The fencing masters from 1400-1800 left behind many manuscripts and manuals. We study these and recreate their techniques.
Price for Membership
No experience? No problem!
To join the club you simply go through a 2 months Beginner’s Course for 300 DKK.
After this membership is 150 DKK/month.
There is no deposit or sign-up fee.
If you’ve done Epee, Foil, or Sabre fencing before you’re already ahead — your footwork, parries and sense of distance will transfer nicely, especially to the Rapier.

The Weapons
There are many weapons within Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA). They are made by modern smiths and are as close to their real, historical cousins as possible, except blunt and safe.
They handle like real swords.
We train with rapiers, sabres and longswords.
Rapier
Thrust-oriented duelling sword. The longest of the weapons. Rich and complicated. Often used with a shorter dagger in the other hand at the same time for both defense and offense.
For rapier we do Fabris and La Verdadera Destreza.

Sabre
Cut and thrust weapon. Shorter than most, but very agile.
We practice the British Military Sabre.

Longsword
Two-handed sword with surprising speed. Neither heavy nor clumsy as most think.
At the club we follow the Bolognese tradition.
