New Season Recruitment!
Summer is here and we’re about to start new recruitment 🙂
Tomorrow on Wednesday 19/06/2019 @ Mahon Community Centre 8PM we’ll run our Open Day – free medieval longsword taster class that will allow you to experience what Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) is all about!
Everyone is welcome to join – please bring indoor sports shoes, comfortable clothes, towel and plenty of water!
More info: https://corkblademasters.com/open-days/
If you want to continue your HEMA training with us then next Wednesday 26/06/2019 we’ll start our 10 Weeks long German Longsword Course! This is our main recruitment drive that will allow you to move to Scholar level and start participating in club activities!
This course is considered to be a minimum required standard for free fencing (sparring) and as such is obligatory for all who want to move onto the Scholar rank.
