Shire of Sea March
Practices
Archery, knife throwing, and fencing are conducted with real weapons which have been subtly altered to eliminate the risk of accidentally reducing the living population of our illustrious Shire whilst maintaining the authentic medieval appearance of actual combat.
The "heavy weapons combat" training
uses real armor (think Braveheart and Excalibur) and rattan weapons to
recreate the experience of medieval armored combat without the
fatalities inherent in that most noble pursuit.
Heavy Weapons
practices are held on Saturdays at Noon in Howard Park.
Practices are open to anyone who wishes to attend. There is always some
gentle more than willing to talk about what they do. The truth be known,
the hard part is getting them to NOT talk about what they do.

The light weapons of fencing training uses real swords for details about the equipment used and any safety requirements please contact our Light Weapons Marshall. Light Weapons practices are held every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Gardens Park and each Sunday afternoon at Dreher Park between 2:00 and 4:30 p.m.
Practices are open to anyone who wishes to attend. There is always some gentle more than willing to talk about what they do. The truth be known, the hard part is getting them to NOT talk about what they do.
