Weekly Fighters Practise
Fighters Practise is on every Wednesday night arriving from 5:30 pm. on Lake Domain drive near the hockey grounds – Innes Common
We train in SCA style, heavy combat following the SCA rules of combat.
SCA combat is a form of Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) that has been developed over the last 50 years and has incorporated learning from medieval manuscripts.
