If you would like to see us in action, then you're very welcome to turn up to heavy combat training.

he Kingdom of Lochac combat handbooks can be found here: http://www.sca.org.au/marshal/
The KOLCH (Kingdom Of Lochac Combat Handbook) has two versions, an A4 version and an A5 version. The A5 version takes ages to print but if you're doing lots of free copies it can save a few dollars. Otherwise, I recommend the A4 version.
