Duncan McEvoy and members of the Liverpool Chapter attended a Martial Arts event in the area in July. The event was show casing wider martial arts and featured the usual range of Asian arts. The Guild was the only HEMA group in attendance. The Liverpool Chapter put on demonstrations and ran sessions. Much interest was sparked, this could be a good step forward in building links to the wider more mainstream martial arts community in Liverpool as well as making sure that people are aware that if they are interested in learning a Martial Art, those of Europe are available and as viable an option as those from Asia. We shall be posting a full report soon. Read Entries from our Blog

We look forward to seeing and hearing more about these. The Ranges offered continue to expand. Go to the Knight Shop to see what is currently on offer. 7th August
