Weapons Safety and Competency Training
In order to use equipment on the field, a participant must be deemed as safe in their weapons’ category.
During new player training you will be trained with a one-handed sword; this is done either on your first battle night and is a basic instruction. Once complete you are now deemed as safe to fight with a one-handed sword only.
Any other equipment you might use will require safety and competency training, to be completed at a fortnightly training day. These are held every second Sunday and are free to attend. Check out our events page for our next scheduled training day.
