Viking combat training today was grappling: throws as a part of weapons sparring. Sorry, no photos - too engaged in the research to turn on the camera. #vikings #vikingcombattraining #hurstwic #sparring #grappling

Spear work in training today. I am realizing how common it was for Viking-age warriors to dual wield sword and spear together. There are a surprisingly large number of examples from the sagas, and so we’ve been exploring and testing that combination. https://t.co/JLSPmukH33

In recent weeks, we’ve become very interested in the effectiveness of various weapons combinations, both as described in the sagas, and when we use them in the training room. Some interesting research is in progress.

An excellent discussion this evening in the Hurstwic Heathen study group about building community amongst modern heathens. It was a wide-ranging discussion with concrete proposals, some of which are already being put into motion.
