@gav624 Yes we absolutely do! Check the web site (and the forum there) linked in the video info for current practice times and locations.

Awesome. How often do you meet and would I have to make my own weapons and stuff? Or would I have to do this all by myself if I decided to come.

[StrathclydeBelegarth]

@UnabridgedHero We have several different chapters each with its own practice times and days, you you can chose which one works best for you. We always have weapons for people to brow so they can try it out until we show them how to make their own. Check out Belegarth [dot] ca for more info :)

Looks like fun, but lets be clear; this is not medieval combat. This is a fun game of foam swords.

The techniques used are not actual medieval swordsmanship and do not amount to a martial art of any sort.

That said, if people enjoy it, there is nothing wrong with doing it. More power to them. :)
