Welcome to FSMD - Fiore School of Medieval Defence!

The clash of sword, the clank of armour, the honour of fighting worthy opponents ... This is not just flashy imagery from Hollywood movies, but an achievable ideal that can be gained within our structured medieval martial art. FSMD challenges students to their best, teaches the skills needed to participate in armoured combat and starts them on path of chivalric principles.

We hope the information within these pages provides you with a glimpse of this unique martial art.

"I am the sword and I go against every mortal weapon, neither lance nor axe nor dagger are of worth against me" - Fiore's introduction to the sword.
