The Retallack School of Arms, LLC based in Portland, Oregon instructs Western Martial Arts
using European weapon types from the period 1100 to 1500 AD. We also train drei Ringen (also
known as the Three Wrestlings) and Unarmed Combat.
We train with a dedication, patience, and martial intent, to improve ourselves and help fellow
students improve. As with all martial arts, practitioners discover a system for physical fitness,
focus and discipline. The real intent is in developing ourselves as martial artists, not scoring
touches, learning choreography, or developing a persona. We cannot use the same approach
that reenactment swordsman or LARP use, because we practice grappling, half-swording, throws
and weapon binds.

Students quickly discover that Longsword training gives them a taste of
something different and offers skills like body control, body awareness
and quick reaction that they can apply to any sport.
