This weekend will see the 3rd Schola Gladiatoria HEMA festival. Held in the delightful Royal Gunpowder Mills near Waltham Abbey, this event will bring together the cream of European instructors.

Can you tell I wrote the press release? I'm sooo looking forwards to this event. There will be some superb classes - The Abomination will be showing some grappling from Dutch 17th C texts, there will be pollaxe related jolies and all sorts of other fun. The Doctor will be taking his first event class and I'll be showing a few things as well.
