The School of Arms and Armour
The School of Arms and Armour is a group located in Canberra dedicated to the study and teaching of the martial arts of medieval Europe. We use the surviving medieval fencing manuals, or fechtbücher, to try to learn the ways of combat practiced by medieval knights.
We focus on the German combat manuals dating from the 14th through the late 15th centuries and present a system of combat from grappling, dagger, sword, spear, and pollaxe, both in and out of armour.
