Smallsword Course
Below is an introductory three-lesson course based on the Royal Armoury's new publication of Angelo's 1765 'The School of Fencing'. We do not hold any qualifications but needed to provide a starting point for our HEMA club and this was our best attempt! Please feel free to email any comments.
