Practical Sword
Practical Sword is a club for people interested in learning how to fight with a sword and other weapons in a way that seeks to be as realistic as possible.
We do this by focusing on how people may have once fought in the past, trying to recreate lost fighting styles and techniques. We focus on both Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) with influences from Japanese and other asian martial arts, and Historical Medieval Battle (HMB)
We train in Melbourne's inner north in West Preston and are a member of the Western Martial Academies of Australia.
We are currently offering two programs. One focused on Viking Age combat (HEMA / WMA) and a second program focusd on full contact Historical Medieval Battle (HMB).
Please contact us if you wish to train or have any questions.
