21.01.2022 One of our rookies posed the question "Are two bucklers better than one?" You decide.

20.01.2022 The first 2020 intake is coming up!

19.01.2022 Mixed weapons capture the flag. A fun way to end out an Incredible year at Sword Fighter Gold Coast. Thank you to everyone who came and trained with us. Our first intake for 2020 will be in late January.

19.01.2022 It's great to have Coach Alex back at training after his maternity leave. Your big children have missed trying to stab you. He may be rusty, but he's still got it!

18.01.2022 The Sword Fighter team has been out and about doing the tournament circuit of late. Jake Richards led the Sabre team at the recent Prima Spada Sabre Tournament. Jake taking out 4th place. Liam Richards, Michael Bridgeland and Carter Walshe all put in a great effort. Meanwhile in Sydney last weekend Ben Spratt placed 3rd in Longsword at the Sydney Super Series hosted by Big Tree Combat Academy.

17.01.2022 Working on some body mechanics for what may be the last training session for awhile.

16.01.2022 In case you've ever wondered how heavy a sword actually is

16.01.2022 Well it was hard fought but New South Wales once again came out on top in the second State of Origin HEMA Comp. While we shake our heads and prepare for a fruitless third match, here is a list of classic origin excuses to honour the occasion. 1) We were robbed. The refs are cheats.... 2) We just had too many injuries. 3) The judiciary should have suspended Angus for too much fish slapping 4) The final pass in NSW’s match-winning thrust was thrown by Josh who was 8 meters out of the arena 6) We let you win to make next year's series more interesting See more

16.01.2022 The intake is over and the Sword Fighter team welcomes back all participants to become fully recognised members of the club!

15.01.2022 Sword fight like a girl

15.01.2022 "The Steel Sabre. This is the weapon of the Cavalry. Not as clumsy or random as a musket; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. What did you all think of the new Star Wars movie?

15.01.2022 Congratulations to our in-house tournament champions Cameron Jacob & Ben. Jacob has been training for less than 18 month, and already proving himself a major combatant in the club.

13.01.2022 We are sending a few fencers up to our sister school, ASSS, tonight to get some licks in.We are sending a few fencers up to our sister school, ASSS, tonight to get some licks in.

13.01.2022 While training we always wear masks, and gloves; and stay at least 1 swords length apart.

12.01.2022 Remember we have a cap on numbers, don't miss out because you left it to the last minute.

11.01.2022 Happy Friday everybody. What ever you're doing this weekend, remember to stay out of melee range, and wear your safety gear.

11.01.2022 Sword Fighter is proud to declare that the last Friday of every month will be raiding night as we send a team of people to go and cross-train with our sister school Australis Scherma Scuola di Spada e Sciabola. Likewise, we are opening our training hall to all insured fencers on the first Thursday of every month. Come down and train with the Gold Coast team. Alternately, Sunday is sport day here on the GC, at 3pm every Sunday we will be playing team sports as a bit of extra curricular fitness work. If you can't make it to fencing perhaps some ball sports and beer will get you down here!

10.01.2022 Early bird prices end soon!

10.01.2022 Breaking in some very new, very shiny side swords.

06.01.2022 Awesome work from Lisa and Michael. It was Lisa's first tournament and only Michael's second. They both fenced well and did the team proud! Thanks to the awesome team at Brisbane School of Iberian Swordsmanship for running a top notch event!
