WHAT IS IT?: Any weapon, any discipline! The Dueling Club is a weekly session that is held on Wednesdays at our Norfolk location. Think of it as a cross-discipline open mat. What makes this event so special is its focus on cultural-sharing. Any weapon of any discipline, so long as it has been approved for sparring, can be used. There are no teaching blocks at the Dueling Club so it is all free-sparring based and is a great time for fencers of different backgrounds to from one another. We often have fencers from Japanese, European, and African martial arts participating in The Dueling Club, but we would love to have other unique martial artists join in.
HOW TO JOIN: All Ludus Ferocia members are automatically enrolled in the Dueling Club, free of charge. All non-members must pay a $10.00 fee to attend, per event, and all weapons and gear brought from outside of the school must be approved and safety checked prior to use at The Dueling Club. Regulation HEMA equipment is what we allow and no stage-steel or blunted steel swords that are NOT designed for sparring can be used.
