The Bankeside
Schoole of Defense is an historical stage combat school, located in
Southern California, that is dedicated to the study of European swordsmanship
with an emphasis on Italian 16th century rapier and sidesword fighting.
Members of Bankeside are involved with the Renaissance Pleasure
Faire in Southern California each spring, and bring to life a different
aspect of renaissance living by staging daily fights and bouts on the streets
of the faire. We train in regular classes using replica weapons and
techniques learned from existing 16th century manuals to further our knowledge
and expertise in this almost forgotten art.
We have established this site for the dual purposes of announcing our presence and educating the interested. |
