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.

Need a back up grading shirt, buy one at our shop at the print bar.

Birch, Ash and Thorn

Birch,  Ash  and Thorn levels are our foundation levels where students learn the basic skills to be a Viking warrior.
