The Academy of Historical Fencing
An addition to the list of things that I did not know existed until I saw them on You Tube:
The Academy of Historical Fencing has three clubs in the UK. The clubs include two in Bristol (Bradley Stoke) and one in Newport (Caerleon Campus). Visit the clubs page for more information. The club is run by a group of like minded martial artists looking to develop their skills and knowledge in a safe and relaxed environment whilst also sharing knowledge with like minded people. The club has over 100 members and instructors with a variety of skills, knowledge and expertise in different weapon forms, combat and research.
These guys look like they could give the colonists at Bristol Renaissance Fair a run for their money.
