Forte Swordplay is...

Medieval sword and related martial arts in Boston, MA

Welcome!

We are a Western martial arts organization located near Boston, Massachusetts and dedicated to the practical study of Kunst des Fechtens (KdF), the traditional martial arts of medieval Germany.  Our primary weapon is the longsword, though we delve into other weapons from time to time. Currently we are doing more dagger and dusack in addition to longsword.

Here you'll find details on theory and our research, as well as practice and training resources we provide for beginning and experienced students alike interested in studying KdF.
