    The 1595 Club Ireland is happy to announce the opening of 2 new Clubs in Galway & Dublin City at the start of 2016.

    We study the lost martial system of Vincentio Saviolo covering unarmed combat, the study and practice of historical weapons and the study of authentic swordsmanship.

    We will be offering courses suitable for all abilities from the beginner to advanced students both in individual classes and group workshops. Everyone welcome.

    Our fully insured teachers are also available to teach workshops at other clubs around Ireland. Classes can be tailor made to fit in with your club.

    Our club, The 1595 Club is dedicated to the practice, study and rebirth of the ‘lost’ martial arts of Europe. Our primary source is the work of the sixteenth century soldier, philosopher and Master of Fence Vincentio Saviolo and it is from the year of publication of ‘His Practise’ in 1595 that the Club takes its name.

    The terms ‘fencing’ or ‘to fence’ originated from the Elizabethan slang for ‘defence’ and ‘offence’ and this is the meaning that we wish to reclaim.

    Fencing is the art of combat: the art and science of defence.

    The 1595. Club’s approach to the Art of Fence offers:

    • A full martial system: ranging from unarmed combat to the study and practice of historical weapons.

    • The study of authentic swordsmanship and the Art of Arms.

    • A practical and effective form of self-defence.

    • An exploration and study of the co-ordination and harmony of both mind and body, not only as a combat discipline but also as a form of solo practice, that encourages and benefits both physical and emotional well-being.

    • The promotion of a philosophy of respect and goodwill:


    “…the more skill a man hath of his weapon the more gentle and curteous should he shewe himselfe, for in truth this is rightly the honour of a brave Gentleman, and so much the more is hee to bee esteemed : neither must he be a bragger, or lyer, and without truth in his word, because there is nothing more to be required of a man then to know himselfe…” Vincentio Saviolo.

    The weapon forms we study are:

    Sword (Arming sword or early Rapier)
    Sword and Dagger
    Sword and Shield
    Sabre
    Staff and Pole weapons (Partizan)
    Walking stick/Cane
    Pugilism (Victorian boxing)
    Savate (Classic French Foot Fighting)
    Elements of Pugilism and Savate are combined with all weapon forms to show the student that the weapon in hand is but one weapon amongst many that can be used.

    If anyone is interested please send me a message and I can direct you to Videos of what we do and our Pages.

    Thank You

    1595 Club Ireland

    Swords of the West is a historical fencing (HEMA) group based in Knocknacarra, Galway.
    The training primarily draws from the fencing manuals of Hanko Döbringer, Sigmund Ringeck & Joachim Meÿer.

    Our main focus is upon fencing with the Longsword. We have also been putting work into Dussack from Meÿer, as well as knife work influenced by both European and Filipino sources.

    The primary goal is learning the practical applications of these methods of combat as performed in the time period, as well as their use in modern tournaments and events.

    Anyone aged 16 or over is welcome to train with us, no previous knowledge of martial arts or fencing is required.
    An open mind and positive attitude, along with a willingness to work hard--these are required.

    You can contact us via Facebook, search "Swords of the West", Twitter @SwordsWest, or on the web just search google for "swordswest".
    *If you are an instructor or practitioner of another martial art, and will be visiting Galway, give us a shout!*
    We always welcome guest instructors who would like to share their art as well as guests to join in our training.

    Hey.

    I boxed for a couple of years but stopped because of college and work. Have tried muay Thai, karate and bjj but never had the time. Looking to get into a martial art but my work hours are all over the place. I hardly finish before 8.30 pm and work Monday to Friday. Does anyone know any clubs with really flexible hours to train? Meant to say that I'm living in Waterford. I meant to say I've looked everywhere online but I'm in work for any of the times training's on. I'm at a loss for what to do.


  • Registered Users Posts: 184 ✭✭KathleenMcCabe


    I think you may have to post this in a different thread? But the Straightblast Gym on the Naas Road is open all day and closes late. Everyone is really decent in there too. Best of luck with your training.

    Hi Len,

    You can check out Goats Head Historical Fencing--they are located in Wexford, so not very far from you. I believe they run weekend training sessions.
    You can find them on Facebook.
