Members of our Oxford chapter met up today for some outdoor sparring. It might be the coldest time of the year but that didn’t stop our students working up a sweat as they got some extra practise and sparring in.
It’s not all swords, bucklers and daggers! Members from our Oxford chapter took time to socialise and enjoy a festive meal this evening.
Congratulations to our students who passed their safety test at our Oxford Chapter tonight and rise to the rank of Studente!
We celebrated our 20th anniversary with HEMA clubs from all over the south of England this weekend. It was a wonderful day with lots of smiles, fights, and catching up with friends. Many thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us, we look forward to fencing you again soon!

What with the pandemiic it’s been a long time since the school had a proper social. That all changed on Friday night when members of all chapters gathered in Reading for a night of food, drinks and sword related chat. It was good to catch up and meet members from other chapters we’d not encountered before. Thanks to Josh and Jubie for opening their house to us all.
Our Oxford students had a visitor from Oxford Sword and Staff to their regular outdoor weekly sparring session. They had great fun sparring with them across a number of different weapons.
School of the Sword saw a number of medals in the first round of the Wessex League, held in Didcot, Oxfordshire this past weekend.
Emilia Skirmunt head instructor at our Oxford chapter took silver in women’s saber, gold in women’s longsword, while Apollon Makropoulos, an instructor at our Godalming chapter, took bronze in Sword and Buckler.
Congratulations to both fencers in what, by all accounts, was an excellent event.
