This week we had three classes running; beginners longsword, Lecküchners messer and Myers rapier.

Last night was the first session of our beginners longsword course run by Jasper and it was a great success. At the other end of the hall Jake was running a messer session with the rest of the group.

Last night was our first session of the year. We started the year off with a session on Meyer’s staff.

Happy New year. Try something new. Learn to use a sword.

Virtus The Hague is back in business! We've just had our first lesson as an official Stichting.

And we're now an official stichting! Earlier today we all met up at the Notaris to sign the final paperwork. Virtus The Hague will be returning soon and better than ever!

We are a very friendly bunch and you will often find us in the bar after the session

We mostly teach German longsword but also other weapons such as staff, messer, broadsword and targe, sword and buckler, sidesword and dagger.

Since we first started our numbers have grown.
