A martial arts channel run by the two instructors and co-founders (The Thomas Brothers) of the Academy of Historical Fencing. Here you will find all manner of videos relating to the practice of historical European swordsmanship, from lessons to equipment reviews, sparring footage and articles. Whether you are an armchair general, a martial arts fanatic, a historian, theatrical fencer or a curious passer by, we hope you enjoy the channel.
We have been training since the mid '90s and formed the Academy in 2006 from the core members of our previous group, Gwent Historical Sword Club. The AHF has two schools that train in Newport (South Wales, UK) on Fridays (Caerleon Sports Hall) and Bristol (England, UK) every Wednesday (Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre). Visit the clubs page for more information. The school 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.
