This family of bucklers are commonly called Talhoffer bucklers today due to their iconic usage in the Talhoffer fencing treatise. Please note that we do not practice from the Talhoffer manual. For sword and buckler we work from Bolognese sources, and so that is the sort of style we are using. Both Arming swords are Poker Miles models.

Anyone in the club can request this, the rules are simple though can be adjusted if desired - <br /><br />10 minutes of continous fighting where for one's birthday, you fight to two hits against continous opponents. We open this up to every skill and experience level and so members are welcome to use steel, synthetic and padded weapons as per their choice, but we do encourage a variety so that everyone can get involved. There is no focus on any particular style, technique or attempt to recreate or represent anything, merely a chaotic bit of fun with a broad mix of fencers.
