Riddle of Steel

About

The Riddle of Steel Weapon Academy is a foam and latex weapon fighting school.

It was created roughly twenty years ago by Mark Gilbert in the UK.

It is the fruit of reflection on foam/latex weapon fighting within LARPs.

Being a discipline coming from LARP, we want to keep its fun and safe aspects. With this in mind we organize lessons not to shape fencer but to guide one trough its desires (technique, games, show etc).

Principles

To teach to anyone who feels interest in LARP fighting.
To Progress through technique practice and training.
To promote safer LARP fighting.
To promote foam and latex fighting as a martial art.

Playful fencing

Playful fencing has gradually become an activity in its own right, practiced both for the sporting aspect and for its entertaining and convivial dimension.

Playful fencing is a sporting and playful discipline based on an adaptation of various sports fencing techniques, European Historical Martial Arts (AMHE), artistic fencing and various martial arts, for use in the purpose of touching the valuable parts of his opponents, according to the safety principles related to the use of foam replica weapons.
