Train historical fencing and HEMA in Tromsø
In Tromsø we train with sword & buckler, montante and longsword. All trainings take place at Borgtun school and are open to beginners.
Everyone who wants to try gets two free trial weeks so they can get an impression of what it's like to train with us. If you want to continue training after this, just sign up for the club - you pay for one semester at a time. You only need regular workout clothes and indoor shoes, all swords, masks, etc. can be borrowed from the club in the beginning.
