We hold weekly combat practice at Miller’s Run School in Sheffield, Vermont.
You don’t need to participate to attend! Newcomers are welcome.
If you go, please bring or wear comfortable exercise clothes, closed-toe, non-marking shoes, and groin protection (if you have it).
Throughout the year, we hold gatherings, demonstrations and displays of SCA combat including heavy list fighting, thrown weapons and archery.
