Bristol Workshop 21st November

There will be a workshop in Bristol on Saturday 21 November from 10.30 am to 1 pm.

All welcome, beginners and those with some experience.

Location is Eastville Park, which is adjacent to Muller Road on the East side of the M32/B4469 junction (Tesco/IKEA). We'll meet in the park in the area close to Muller Road unless the weather is vile, in which case we'll meet in the area under the M32 flyover. There's a large flat concrete area on a pedestrian island underneath the Motorway flyover which will keep the rain off.

Staffs will be provided.

New quarterstaff group with a map

If you want to keep in touch with what's going on with quarterstaff training and events, and to find other people to train with, then you can now join our free quarterstaff group.

The group includes a member map allowing everyone to create a map entry showing the town where they live. You can then see if there is anyone living near you who might want to get together for some practise. The map will also help us to plan where to hold workshops.

Six Animals

New web pages on the six animals -

In training with the staff, we seek to develop not just physical strength and agility but also the ability to move in different ways. The six animals - stag, cat, bear, fox, boar, hawk - teach specific qualities of movement, but also represent qualities the warrior learns to use.
