Event Details

Swords, and daggers, and poleaxes, oh my!

Come watch as our friends from Laurel City Historical Fencing explain how the past can be fun in the present. Step into the world of knights and armor to get a glimpse of how weapons were used, learn weapon techniques, and watch how to properly put armor on a knight. Just when you think that this stuff is relegated to the past and that you can’t be a knight in shining armor today, we'll discuss how these old manuscripts can be used today to practice HEMA, or Historical European Martial Arts.
