British School of Swordsmanship

The British School of Swordsmanship is a traditional martial arts system focused on European sword techniques, particularly from the Renaissance period. It emphasizes precise footwork, guard positions, and fluid blade work, often using historical manuals and training methods to develop skill, discipline, and understanding of sword combat. This approach can be practiced with various weapons like the rapier, longsword, or foil, blending historical accuracy with modern training to foster technical proficiency and respect for the art's cultural heritage.
