Medieval Martial Arts Workshops

Our Medieval Martial Arts Workshops are ideal when coupled with Knights of Veritas educational presentations, but are also excellent for special engagments all on their own. Each workshop is geared towards introducing students to the fundamental concepts of authentic personal combat from the middle ages through the exploration of a period weapon and how it was used according to surviving manuscripts from that time. Weapon choices include:

  • long sword
  • pole axe
  • dagger
Participants receive a personalized hands-on journey through basic techniques left to us by medieval masters such as Sigmund Ringeck, Paulus Kal, Peter von Danzig, Hans Talhoffer and others. Training arms and fencing masks are provided for the workshop. Each 1 hour class includes full color class notes, and is for ages 12 to adult. More information on our curricula and expanded workshops can be found at Veritas Swordplay Academy.
Cost to your organization: starts at $250 per workshop, up to 10 registrants

Travel Rates

We try to keep travel costs affordable for our presentations; in most cases, at or below $100 for much of our service area of the Pacific Northwest. It is always easier for us to keep travel costs down when we are traveling for more than one presentation on a given day. We are willing to work with you to find other organizations in your local area who are also interested in having a presentation, in order to keep travel costs down for everyone.

Travel costs may also be defrayed if multiple programs are booked, such as adding a Medieval Martial Arts Workshop or Family Engagement Activities to one of our Educational Presentations. Offer more programs for your patrons and get a discount on travel costs to help your bottom line!
