Beginner Longsword Series

Four times a year, IFG holds a longsword series specifically for beginners new to HEMA. The series details the basics of the use of the longsword as explained by the teachings of 15th and 16th century German fencing masters. Our next series will be held in January 2025. More information is available here.
