Our group is a fun and welcoming group and open to all, but catered to adults. Older teens may participate with parental permission. We follow the Schola curriculum but try to keep a playful atmosphere for our lessons and training. In addition to our weekly practices, SSG Anchorage hosts tournaments and events where we invite fighters from other clubs and study groups to come compete against us. We have connections to several local HEMA groups as well as the SCA, and enjoy getting everyone together from time to time for inter-group events. If you love fighting and playing with swords, come out and see what we are about!

WE meet every student where they are at, so those who are not confident fighting right away will stick to slow work and drills until they build enough skill and confidence to fight. For those who wish to fight right away, we will fight with you as soon as you have (or borrow) adequate safety gear. Most weeks we fight with multiple weapons, including longsword, messers, sabers, sword and buckler, spear, various polearms, and dagger. We believe strongly in the benefits of cross-training and experimentation, and occasionally we will also bring in non-standard fighting styles such as shields, rapier fencing, wrestling, and many others.
