NO PRACTICE TODAY!

In preparation for the Signet Slaughter this weekend, the Barbarian crew will be enjoying the sweet pleasures of armor maintenance and film study!

In the mean time, enjoy the Barbarian crew hitting a hump and bump!

⚔️ New Indoor Training Spot Secured! 🛡️

We’re excited to announce that the Barbarian crew now has an indoor space for soft kit training at Whatcom Wrestling Academy!

This means more consistent conditioning, drills, and technique work, rain or shine. Ideal for newcomers to get started and for experienced fighters to sharpen their skills without the full armor.

🗓️ Practice Times:
• Wednesdays — 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
• Sundays — 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM

📍Whatcom Wrestling Academy, Bellis Fair Mall
Come move, hit, and train with us, no armor required!
RSVP to a practice by going to our website located in our Bio!

Thank you Whatcom Wrestling Academy for the space and support!

Come fight with us!! The Barbarians are always looking for people interested in fighting with or supporting the team! Reach out to us here or on Instagram with questions about practice and events!

Our fighting spirit is just as high in soft kit as it is in armor. Practice makes consistency after all and if you're interested you should join us for practice Wednesdays (tonight included!) and Sundays. Message us here or on Instagram for more details!

As we're approaching the holiday season things are starting to slow down event wise. Although not nearly as sexy as learning take downs or how to swing a great sword, recovery and rehabilitation is one of the most important aspects of training in this sport. Being able to recover quickly and effectively will greatly improve your ability as a fighter, and more importantly help improve your overall quality of life. Whether it's recovering for the short term in between rounds, or something long term, say post or in-between events, everyone has their own methods. We've heard of fighters doing everything from deep stretching to cold plunges. What do you do for recovery? Tell us in the comments!

Are you looking for a way to stay warm this winter? Consider coming out for practice this Sunday at 12pm and we'll make sure you're nice and warm by the time we're done!

This Sunday Captain Gage will be going over two handed weapons focusing on footwork, striking, and power generation! And like most practices we'll have open sparring to wrap it up.

If you've ever wanted to be a knight we want you! Message us here for more information!

Staying in shape during the holiday season can be hard, but it doesn't have to be! Come join us every Wednesday from 6-8:00 pm and Sunday from 5-7:00 pm for practice! Our community is always looking for new people to join us in the fight. Reach out to us on here or on Instagram ! Hope to see you in the fight!

Despite the cold and rain, this Wednesday night's practice was fantastic! We covered some new takedowns and grappling techniques, and saw a ton of improvement from everyone during sparring 🤘⚔️🤺 #imcf #steelfighting #armoredcombat #buhurt #buhurtinternational #bellinghamwa #buhurtleague #buhurtislove #steelfighters #hmb
