The tradition of sword fighting
Since ancient times, people fought with swords.
The fighting culture started its rapid development in the Middle Ages. At that time early manuscripts and the books about the art of sword fighting written by Talhoffer, Mayer, Liechtenauer and others appeared.
MSF continues to preserve and develop the historical tradition of the sword fighting, giving it a new sports emphasis.
