Welcome back to swordfighting in 2022! We have some new training sessions planned which will be taking place at the usual venue, the 13th Ipswich Scout Hut at 126 Rushmere Road, Ipswich, IP4 4JX. The training sessions alternate between running from 10am-12pm and 2pm-4pm, as some people were unable to do afternoon sessions. The upcoming sessions are:
16th Jan 10am-12pm
30th Jan 2pm-4pm
13th Feb 10am-12pm
27th Feb 2pm-4pm
13th Mar 10am-12pm
Remember that you do not need any specific kit for the training sessions (all equipment can be provided) and your first session is free (£5 thereafter). We look forward to seeing you there!
Hello, what is your minimum age please? I have a man-sized knowledgeable (well, 5 foot 6!!)11 year old who could get very into this sport!! He’s 12 in May. We are in Framlingham
Hi Anna, as it is a contact sport, injuries are possible so he’d be welcome to come along to one of the sessions to try things out and have a chat with us, but we would require an adult to be with him at all times to supervise.
Hi all, I am interested in coming to the training session on February 27th. I have trained with soft kit with a HMB group in Norfolk and I have some armour I was intending to use with them but have not had the chance. Would this be suitable for your club?
Hi Kieth,
You’d be more than welcome to come along, the first session with us is free, so you’d be welcome to at least try us out.
Bring your kit along as well and we can have a look (we’re always interested in seeing other people’s stuff). Just make sure you have gloves and some clothes you can move easily in.
Hi, my son loves sword fighting and I’m very impressed with his capability. When are your next sessions and could he come along
Hi Claire,
Depending on his age, he would be welcome to a session. Please check the events page for dates or our Facebook page.
