Sword Circle proudly teaches how to honorably wield a sword, showing respect for the weapon, each other, and the art. Our discipline primarily draws from the 15th-century Italian style of Fiore Dei Liberi, in addition to the German styles of Hans Talhoffer and Johannes Leichetenauer, while also gaining insight from other sword-fighting traditions from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and modern times.
