The SSA is on its end of term break this week (Monday the 26th and Wednesday the 28th of June 2023), so there are no sessions this week. Normal sessions will begin on Monday the 3rd (except for unarmed which starts again on the 10th) and Wednesday the 5th of July.

A reminder that we are will not be running sessions on the upcoming bank holiday Monday, the 28th of August

We are thrilled to be able to say that attendance at the SSA is flourishing and we have been humbled by the interest and enthusiasm shown by our existing and new members.

However this does mean that in three of our four forms we are at capacity and so at the moment we cannot take in any new students in broadsword, longsword and rapier.

There is still capacity in our unarmed classes and if you’d like to register for introductory session in that or be added to the list for when space opens up in broadsword, longsword and/or rapier then just use the Ready to come along? form to let us know.

Hello and Welcome

Founded in 1997, the Sussex Sword Academy (SSA) was established to study, practice, promote and revive the martial arts that were developed in European combat.
