Have you ever fantasized of fighting with the weapons of ancient man? Does going toe to toe armed with swords and shields sound like your kind of fun?

Well here in Madera we have a small group of people who have been doing just that for the past months and we are looking to expand our numbers.

We utilize equipment made from pvc, foam, and duct tape which allows us to experience the feeling of being in combat. This isn't fencing or martial arts. We fight aggressively utilizing many styles based on those of the ancient world. Swords, axes, shields and spears are among the many weapons one can create and field against your foes.

It is a fun and engaging hobby which has only a small startup cost of roughly $15, however first time players may borrow equipment from my own personal arsenal.

Bellow are some pictures of us in action. [Taken at Avila beach this past July].
