For the honourable art of Historical fencing, both Martial and Theatrical. To create public awareness of the sport/skills and recruit members for all sections.

'Ironclad's' aims are to create an umbrella group to bring together all forms of medieval fighting. Whether it be Theatrical, Historical Fencing, Battle of the Nations or any other form that may be beneficial to all. To give members opportunities in several sectors for participation and skill sets. To build ancillary skills, such as basic armory and leatherwork to maintain gear. To provide training techniques that benefit all, such as practical cutting, balance in harness and battlefield awareness. Create a network for local skills and goods. Create a fun and varied social club for like minded people to share.

⚔️⚔️⚔️ CONGRATULATIONS LIZ! ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Liz is a very determined fencer, focused on personal development. To that end, Liz has earned the Ironclad patch! Which means Liz can fight anyone in the club with steel swords and represent the club in any tournament.

Amazing work, well done!

⚔🔥⚔ NEED A HUG? CALL OUR KNIGHTS ⚔🔥⚔

When you lose both swords, there's few options left to continue the fight, you have to go hand to hand, cuddle to cuddle!

Here's some high frame rate footage of a desperate scrap between some of our Knights, who simply couldn't manage to hold on to their swords at the SA Medieval Fair, in Paracombe this year.

Like swords and want to join the fight?? We will have new intakes coming up early next year. Stay tuned for date announcements.

⚔️⚔️⚔️ THE FIGHT NEVER ENDS ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Even though the President's Cup tournament is over, it doesn't mean the fight stops.

Our fencers have a focus on personal development and finding that edge that will take them just a bit further in every fight, to get the win.

Friendly sparring is essential for testing out new moves, new theories, and exploring how you move and fight as a fencer.

⚔️⚔️⚔️ IT'S FINALLY OVER ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Our President's Cup tournament has finally concluded.

Coincidentally, our club president, Nic, was the winner! He finally won his own cup! And his performance in the final matches was spectacular. Legendary in fact...

The winner and finalists ended up being -

1 - Nic
2 - Benson
3 - Ryan
4 - Lionel
5 - Adrian

It was a very well fought competition by all those involved in months of fights.

Even the fighters that weren't in the finals, advanced a long way with their performance and personal development, which is the goal of the competition.

On behalf of the entire club, we would like to say well done, well fought, and hope to see you all in the next one!
