Yearly Archives: 2019

We had a great turnout of over thirty people for our first Open Sparring Day held at our Oxford chapter.

Friends from Waterloo Sparring, Exeter Sparring Group, AHF, New Cross Historical Fencing, Schola Gladiatoria and more came to fence with a whole variety of weapons and gather for drinks and dinner in the pub afterwards.

Our Open sparring days are held three times a year, are free of charge and open to all. You need your own equipment and at least a basic grounding in HEMA. The next one will be at our Reading Chapter in August.

Two of our beginners passed safety test grading in Reading this week. Congratulations to Joanne and Gary!

Congratulations to Kelley, Luis, Charlotte and Kristian for passing their SotS safety test at our Oxford branch! As full members are now able to attend sparring and train with the rest of the school.

Congratulations to our “three musketeers”: Alex, Matt and Sabrina who have now all passed their safety tests after completing the beginners course and are ready to spar and train with the rest of the School!
