Our next beginners course will likely not be until the new year so please sign up early to avoid disappointment.

First week - The Introduction

This session will give you an introduction to the sport. We’ll go through safety and how we work in the training venue. We will show you armour, weapons and soft kit and give you the chance to hold and have a look at them.

We will then move onto moving, striking, hitting and duelling one another. Going through one minute rounds, working on techniques between each round.

Second week - Grappling Week!

This session introduces you to grappling, wrestling and how to throw one another and land safely. You will advance your duelling into profights.

Third week - Bohurt Week

This week we move onto the meat of the sport, fighting into teams, working together to get the opposing team down. We will look to expand on the techniques of what you have already learned, start introducing plays, working together etc.

Fourth week - The Finale!

At this point, assuming we have kept up with the schedule we will change it to a regular training session. We will look to train with our regular fighters, giving you the opportunity to start fighting with our regulars, meet them all and make that transition into a full BAC member!
