The Boar’s Tooth is a fight school based in London, Pett’s Wood, and Folkestone…
We are involved in the translation, study, and practice of the historical European martial arts, based on original combat treatises and our martial arts experience. Classes are led by David Rawlings, a full time instructor and author of two dvds on historical swordsmanship, he has taught at martial arts events across Europe and is a member of HEMAC, the Historical European Martial Arts Coalition.
We have three main areas of study and training:
- The Liechtenauer lineage of 14th-16thC German knightly arts.
- The 13thC sword and buckler source known as I.33.
- 18-19thC British pugilism.
Boar’s Tooth shares a ‘Chapter’ relationship with the groups STMF , and Schola Gladiatoria,
a relationship based on an adherence to fully martial approach to these arts.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The Boar’s Tooth is a martial arts school. The techniques we study were designed to be fatal, or at the least incapacitating. They are studied with this in mind, and are treated with respect.
- We are not a re-enactment society.
- We are not a theatrical or ’stage-fighting’ group.
- We are not a haven for psychos or a home for the faery folk.
The Boar’s Tooth and Fight Medieval are proud members of both H.E.M.A.C & the B.F.H.S
