Practical Sword's "Fight like a Viking" program has developed a grading system for its fighters to guide their training and development.
At gradings students can earn coloured shirts and RUNIC tokens for each level past.

Birch, Ash and Thorn levels are our foundation levels where students learn the basic skills to be a Viking warrior.
The Birch level introduces basic fighting skills and is devided into three parts.
