Armored Fighting
"One of the most well-known and widely-enjoyed activities in the SCA is armored combat. Our warriors participate in tournaments for individuals and teams, tactical melees involving dozens of combatants, and even large-scale wars with thousands of participants! Unlike reenactments of battles from history, our combat activities are unchoreographed and the outcome is entirely based on the skill and training of the combatants involved." [Taken from the Society page on Armored Combat.]
Practice is geared to developing beginning and intermediate fighters through intensive hands on training
with experienced instructors, as well to providing ample opportunity for more advanced fighters to spar with knight level combatants. All are welcome.
For more information please contact:
