Join Swordsmanship Museum and Academy educator Jerry Berg as he leads a class introducing the fundamentals of traditional Scottish Broadsword, focusing on what makes the system uniquely Scottish, all while sharing the history and conflict behind the weapon. No experience is required for this class, but since we will be moving and using training swords, please dress appropriately. After this class, any 18th-century warring Highland clan would love to have you among the ranks of their warriors! Training swords will be provided. Attendees must be at least 18 years of age.
