Martial Arts

 

Martial Arts of several disciplines make up a major part of SCA activities.

HEAVY ARMOURED COMBAT

For those who love knights in armour, or for those who just like hitting each other with sticks, SCA heavy armoured fighting is the activity for you.  Modeled after medieval tournament fighting, heavy armoured combat was the first combat activity introduced, dating back to the very first SCA event in the 1960s.  Kings of the various S.C.A. kingdoms are determined through armoured combat  “crown tournaments” held every six months.

We fight full contact, with fighters wearing real armour and wielding rattan weapons, not live steel; blows are struck at full force.

Battles can be fought one on one or in groups, sometimes even in wars with hundreds of combatants together at once!
 

RAPIER AND SIDE SWORD

In the years of the renaisance rapier was king.  More genteel, in the opinions of some, than the heavy combat of earlier times, but more than the simple poking of modern fencing, rapier and side sword are guaranteed to to satisfy anyone who has ever wanted an ostrich plumed hat.
