Re-enactment

The Aisle O’var Backswording Clubbe is first and foremost a TE-MA Traditional English Martial Arts class and not a re-enactment group. Re-enactment and Theatrical combat are completely different disciplines in their own right and should in no way be mistaken as being Martial.

However in order to increase public awareness of the TE-MA and English Country Backswording we do partake in public demonstrations of TE-MA both in period clothing (Tudor/Stuart) and in our normal training attire depending on the type of event being held as well as partaking in tournament bouting which is open to public viewing.

When it comes to re-enactment though, some of our members do actively participate in events from Dark age/Viking through to the late medieval period.

And so we will be posting a link at a future date on this page allowing those interested in re-enactment to go to our AOBC member’s web pages to find out what they do, when they do it and how you can get involved should you wish to.
