Society for creative anachronism

armored combat

the heaviest combat we offer

One of the most well-known and widely-enjoyed activities in the SCA is armored combat. Our warriors participate in tournaments tactical melees, and large scale wars.. 

rapier combat

light rapier

Rapier combat in the Society attempts to recreate styles of sword fighting from the later part of the Middle Ages, often based on manual and theories of combat that have survived to this day..

cut and thrust

heavy rapier

This style of combat could be considered a hybrid of armored and rapier combat that involves stringent protection standards and uses un-sharpened steel blades.

archery

re-curves, longbows, and crossbows.

One of the most important skills throughout the time frame that we recreate, archery was used for hunting, practice, and especially war.

Thrown weapons

knives, axes, and spears

At many Society events, you can find opportunities to try throwing common medieval weapons such as axes, knives, and spears, all in a safe, monitored environment..

youth combat

also known as boffer combat.

We have three divisions of youth combat with each level increasing with age. With the safety of the participants being our highest priority.
