The Exiles Reading

A Western Martial Arts School training weekly in the Historical European Martial Art of Fiore dei Liberi , c1400. We teach both unarmed and medieval weapons.

The Exiles is a Martial Arts organisation based in the UK, with classes in Europe and the US. We teach a workable and full martial curriculum to students based on the works for Fiore dei Liberi, a teacher of combat in the late 14th and early 15th Century. To that end, we aim to learn all of the skills involved in life or death combat of the period, including:

- Unarmed Striking and Grappling
- Da

Operating as usual
