How heavy is a Medieval sword?
How does chain mail work to protect a knight?
How long did it take a knight to put on his armor before going into combat or competing in a tournament?
Inspired by the armor, armory, and metalwork in A Knight’s Tale, the AMA invites you to meet and talk with members from the Warlord Combat Academy on Saturday, Feb. 11 at 2pm. Following a talk at 3pm, WCA will give a demonstration in Gene Allen Park (weather permitting).
The Warlord Combat Academy, located in Irving, TX, is dedicated to the learning and mastery of sword play. A “fighting community and a community that fights together,” WCA members “train and triumph inside and beyond the walls of the academy, and it is those same communities of likeminded nerds and athletes who we break bread and forge real and lasting friendships together.” Learn more at warlordcombatacademy.com
Please be advised that although there is no additional cost to attend Show & Tell with the Warlord Combat Academy, an admission ticket to A Knight’s Tale is required to participate.
