Fightcamp has always attracted some of the best UK and European HEMA instructors.

In 2011 FightCamp has attracted more instructors teaching more classes than ever before.

In addition to the advertised classes, many of these instructors will be willing to give one-to-one lessons for an hourly rate.

If you want to set up a one-to-one lesson then you can approach the instructor directly and ask them (the Marshals will be happy to help you locate them).
