The European Historical Combat Guild
Principles Based Practice of Historical Combat Styles
The Guild examines combat through the ages,by the the use of a Philisophical approach, a set of Princiciples, Concepts and Fundamentals, These are held to govern, behaviours and movement in general and combat specifically.
Using these we aim to interpret and better understand the use of historical weapons as well as their context, whether working in periods or with styles where sources exist or where they do not.
Guild Objectives
