    Activities

    Everyone is welcome to participate and the focus is on training, learning and having a good time.

    In additional to the standard rapier training we also offer Cut and Thrust combat training and the option to undertake studies of period sword manuals for various combat systems and weapons e.g. German Long Sword. Such studies fall under the SCA's Royal Guild of Defence structure. Arrowsreach now has active members within the Guild wanting to teach and learn more.

    Under the Guild structure students are permitted to use actual period sword techniques like half swording, warding and grappling. A video of these techniques can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj4Ng6DBfrg

    Costs and Related Facilities

    Cost:- $20 per month, paid in advance at the start of the month or $7 per session. To assist newcomers we have a limited supply of loaner gear avaiable free of charge. So provided it fits you you can try before you buy so to speak. Warning its great fun and addictive.

    The venue has outside flat areas to train and has ceiling fans and heaters. We can use the facilities within the kitchen.

    Public transport:- Its takes about 3 mins to walk from Croydon train Station.
