Participate in in Scottish Broadsword Workshop

Join the The Sword Conservatory for the demonstration of Scottish weapons in non-choreographed duels! The Scottish swordsmen will demonstrate various weapon techniques, including Scottish broadsword, small sword and dirk.

The Scottish basket-hilted broadsword was the basic armament of the Highland clans and later, the Scottish regiments of the British army. In this workshop, you will receive hands-on instruction on the basics of attacks and defense using the Scottish Basket-Hilt as described in Henry Angelo’s 1799 manual for the British Army. You will learn some of the drills that were done to practice these basics. Finally, you will put your skills to the test in sparring against instructors from The Sword Conservatory
