Medieval Fighting Practice in Oldenburg

The weekly practice is arranged by Heydenwall and is attended by fighters from different local reenactment clubs including:

The focus lies on fighting with sword, axe, spear and daneaxe according to these rules.

Each Monday at 18:30-21:00

Training Location: At the Carl von Ossietzky Universität (open-air sports hall) (Uhlhornsweg 49-55, 26111 Oldenburg)

The purpose of our line training is to develop our abilities as a reserve and supporting group as well as our techniques as a cohort. To do so we play these games.
The first part of the training is single combat fighting as a preparation for group fighting. The second part of the training is the actual group fighting.

Each Wednesday at 18:30-21:00

Training Location: At the Carl von Ossietzky Universität (open-air sports hall) (Uhlhornsweg 49-55, 26111 Oldenburg)

At this training the emphasis lies on rethinking and improving the individual fighting. Goal of the training is the right use of the whole body and the safe and efficient use of the weapon.
In this training we play increasingly with extended hitting areas and only accept clean cuts, blows and stabs as a valid hit. As usual in our group, the one who is hit is the one to decides if it has been a valid hit.

The internal technique training is no replacement for the linetraining.
