Sessions at the Mithras Sword Fight Club are held twice a week.

The sessions are structured in a way where experienced senior members of the club can demonstrate the knowledge they have gathered through their research and practice to the beginners and to less experienced members. These sessions vary by weapon and personal research of the person giving them.
They might vary from for example; footwork drills and weapon techniques to distance and strategy exercises.

In order to always be faithful to our goal of reviving the European Martial Arts of the past, all the sessions done in the club are backed up by researched historical documentation from treatises left by masters of the past.

These sessions are currently held by the club's president and co-founder Andrei Xuereb.
