At Retallack School of Arms LLC, we teach heavily in Boxing, Wrestling, Knife
Fighting, and Longsword. We feel that it is necessary that all beginner
students (Recruits) develop a strong skill set in all of these areas to be an
effective Western Martial Artist. In our beginning Western Martial Arts classes
the following basics are introduced and practiced.
All Recruits must pass the Scholar Test to continue to the Scholar level of
training. The Scholar test includes Theory, Technique and application tests
both oral and physical. To include supervised combat with a Free Scholar or
