Ásfólk Viking Martial Arts; learn to fight like a viking with authentic swords and shields Ásfólk is a group dedicated to Viking martial arts.

Our students (ages 7-137) learn to fight like a Viking using authentic Viking weapons and equipment. Our focus is NOT on re-enactment or stage performance. Our focus is on understanding and practicing the fighting style used by the Vikings. We recreate this fighting style by studying archaeological evidence, analyzing the sagas and reverse engineering from later period treatises and weapon evoluti

on. WEAPONS & EQUIPMENT - All our school weaponry and shields are faithful reproductions of Viking Age equipment. Some of them have been modernized such as replacing bloomery iron with modern steel. But the size, weight and handling characteristics are always 100% accurate. This is critically important to ensure you learn correct form. If the shape, size, weight, balance, or other handling characteristics are not true to history, you will develop bad habits and fail to understand how the weapons and shields should interact.

After a *really* short session to learn some fighting techniques, participants had to take on Arthur, not only to test their quickly learned new skills, but also to see how well current Asfolk students could train a new fighter. The children's group (trained by Mick) were by far the fastest learners.
