Historical Fencing

Train historical, stay modern.




Discover the world of historical fencing.


Join us and use sparing safe steel swords to recreate the techniques of unarmoured combat from European history. Steel can still be dangerous, so we accompany them with modern protective equipment. This gives us the freedom to spar safely and intensely.

The community!


The historical fencing community is known for its friendliness and inclusivity.

This is further enforced by its mostly flat structure. There are no belts, no ranks.

There are only fencers, regardless of their skill, experience or background, that wish to improve.

Cool people! I want to meet them! I have a question!
