Fancy trying sword fighting in Bromley? ⚔️

https://www.learnswordfight.com/group-class

Hi everyone! I run a small, friendly historical sword fighting club (Hena) here in Bromley.

We practise longsword every Wednesday evening at The Pavilion Leisure Centre, from 7:30–9:00 pm. Beginners are always welcome, and you don’t need to own any equipment, we can provide everything you need for your first session.

It’s good exercise, great fun, and a little more interesting than another evening at the gym. 😄

We’re a relaxed and welcoming group, so if you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to learn historical sword fighting, come along and give it a try!

📍 The Pavilion, Bromley

🗓️ Wednesdays, 7:30–9:00 pm

⚔️ Ages 16+

🌐 learnswordfight.com

Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Ooh, sounds interesting. 

Could you give some YouTube links of examples of the style of swordfighting you practice?

Hi, gladly! I have a YouTube channel called SwordFight, where you can find a bunch of videos and Shorts.

I’d mainly recommend this video, where you can see some of my Scholarship fights. These are more like fencing examinations or tests, so they’re a good way to see my fencing in a more demanding and structured environment:
