Whether Lord of the Rings, Kingdom of Heaven, The Witcher or Game of Thrones: the long sword usually plays a leading role. The long sword is one of the most complex, but also one of the most fascinating weapons of European fencing in the late Middle Ages and early modern times.

The aim of the workshop will be to share this fascination with you.

As a beginner, you will get to know the basics and movement principles of longsword fencing during this weekend. The practical application of the techniques will be practiced with a partner.

If you already have experience, you can deepen the basics you have already learned.
You will be shown how to move the sword economically and, above all, how to move yourself with the sword, basic tactical behavior in combat and how to switch from defense to attack.

A short historical background to fencing with the long sword and an outlook on advanced techniques will also be given.

Our very experienced and highly qualified trainer will be coming specially for the workshop. With his know-how, he is able to provide greater depth and interactivity than is the case in our weekly courses.
