Short profile:
The Fight School, a not-for-profit organisation providing training and weekend live role-playing adventure and re-enactment events for people over the age of eighteen. Seeing as the WFS was designed for use in steel weapons live role playing and battle re-enactment activities, in which the founder currently has over 29 years of experience, it was natural that eventually we would begin running our own events. "SHÔGUN" began in 1994 and is a historical re-enactment/live role playing campaign, set against the background of late sixteenth and early seventeenth century Japan, the period in which the Europeans made their first appearance in that country. Finally after 11 years of research, we were in a position to actively recruit for SHÔGUN, and to this end we put on our first ever full scale re-enactment display at the 2005 Military Odyssey show, an annual event we continue to attend.
Detailed description:
The School was founded in January of 1991 originally purely as a school of swordsmanship, promoting and teaching the Wayland Fight System. The WFS began its development in 1981 and is now a fully fledged competitive combat sport for use with historically accurate reproduction swords of war in battle re-enactments and live role playing events. We would like to offer you our training and/or if you wish, an opportunity to participate in our various activities which we offer to anyone who is prepared to make the effort, fight safely and play fair. Our other campaign, CONTACT is somewhat different, arising out of a series of happy accidents in 1996, that led to our "Stargate" inspired live role playing airsoft campaign, which is run from deep within a unique museum - a former cold war nuclear bunker.
