Applied Sword Tactics

Applied Sword Tactics Teaching the application of real sword fighting using the tactical methods of real historical sword and stick arts.

Headquartered at WellWithin Martial Arts in Columbia, SC... it is our goal to teach the practice of real sword fighting throughout the world. The AST curriculum is an evolution of application and tactics from years of study and research of sword throughout the centuries, and across the globe. Our goal is to make sword techniques applicable to a variety of situations with tried and true concepts. T

he majority of the techniques utilized in the Applied Sword Tactics curriculum come from the Japanese Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu-ha and Mugai Ryu (with emphasis on Iaijutsu and Battojutsu), Western Longsword (with emphasis on Fiore dei Liberi, but taking into account as many masters and manuals as we can read), and Bastone Italiano or Italian Stick (with emphasis on it's sword ancestry and practical applications).
