European Historical Combat Guild
The Guild was formed to bring students of historical combat together to train under a common set of principles. Members are trained to achieve a high level of proficiency with a range of weapons by paying close attention to the principles of combat.
The Guild was founded by John Waller. John’s distinguished career as a Combat Master and Fight Director, for such films as Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Hawk the Slayer and in television for drama series such as Robin Hood and Pride and Prejudice, stood him in good stead as the Creative Director of the Royal Armouries. John retired from the museum in 2006, but continues to be consulted.
Since it’s official launch in 2001 the Guild has established many Chapters throughout Britain and Europe.
