TRAINING SCHEDULE

“Train Hard, fight easy"

Sir william Harrington

Training is important to the Companye. Both combatants and archers must be practised and competent with their equipment before they will be allowed to participate in events.

Here’s a small flavour of what we get up to:

"Sword and mind must be united.
Technique by itself is insufficient, and spirit alone is not enough."
