Trening

The training lasts for 2 hours. We always start with a suitable warm-up, which is carried on by one of the Hirdmanns or assigned person. We train according to a detailed plan:

• Warp-up
• Individual cutting exercises
• Individual form exercises
• Line movement and command reacting
• Form exercises in pairs
• Loose fights in pairs

We use imitation wooden swords, saxes and shields during each exercise. It is recommended to train with both hands, as it is better to know how to use each of them and to feel constrained to leave the battlefield after "loosing" one.

Everyone is welcome to join our trainingsessions, they only need to inform the commander first by telephone or e-mail. Each person, willing to attend a training session is obligated to train with the rest of the group.

There is a one-month period of free trainings for those interested in joining our formation, in which they can get to know other group members, commanders and their orders.

After that period, the observer has to decide if they want to join the group or not, after considering all the orders. Although the rest of the group can decide about eliminating a person, who didn't do anything to develop themselves within this month or is just not appropriate to become a Viking warrior. The terms needed to be fulfilled to become a member of our formation can be found in the candidature section.

Not every one, who wants to join our group is obliged to become a warrior. We also accept those interested in reconstructing medieval craftsmanship.
