Glamorgan School of Arms

Our home in Wales

The Glamorgan School of Arms is the sister school of Bastion.

The Glamorgan School of Arms was founded by Dirk Neumann in 2004. We are a Swansea based Western Martial Arts group, studying in the main techniques for long-handled and single-handed sword combat used in the period from the 13th and 16th Centuries. The club has seen many changes but has always maintained its foundation of respect and integrity. The schools core syllabus consists of four main weapons Langes Messer, Sword and Buckler, Longsword, and the Fighting Cane.

Lucien L and Langley Q trained and taught at Glamorgan School of Arms from 2012 to 2016. While they have since moved on to found Bastion in Singapore, GSA will always be their first home.
