Black Boar Historical Fencing Classes (Smallsword)

About Black Boar Historical Fencing Classes (Smallsword)

Black Boar is a historical fencing school, specialising in smallsword and military sabre tuition. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, we also host the annual international Smallsword Symposium.

The sword was an integral part of European society, in warfare and civilian life, and the study of its use was a highly prized art. At Black Boar, we teach students this art and the real-world application of historical weaponry.

Wielding a sword in combat is exciting, challenging and rewarding. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have prior experience, new students are always welcome at Black Boar. With our friendly and inclusive community, and classes every Monday and Thursday evening (7pm to 8:30pm), there’s never been a better time to take up swordplay. We're based in the city centre at the Heriot's Centre for Sport and Exercise, a modern sports facility just off the Grassmarket.

Visit our website to find out more. If you’d like to get involved, book a class to start your historical fencing journey! Participants must be aged 18 years or over.

Individual class tickets can be purchased for £15, or unlimited access to classes can be purchased with a £50 monthly membership subscription.
