Hire us for your workshop or teambuilding!

Invirtus does not only provide regular classes for our members, you can also hire us to teach at a HEMA event or to organize a fun and interesting teambuilding activity!

Teambuilding

What better way to connect with your colleagues and friends than experiencing the thrill of a sword in your hands... and actually knowing what to do with it!

We have ample experience teaching people completely new to the sport and can provide an interesting activity anywhere between 1.5h and 4h in length.

We can support groups of up to 30 people at the same time, but can of course also accomodate larger groups by splitting them up across time slots.

For entry-level events like this, we use hard plastic/nylon swords that are safe to use, yet still provide the feeling of having a powerful longsword in your hands. We can also provide an impressive demonstration of full-gear sparring with steel swords.

You are expected to provide a venue (can be outdoors!) and appropriate insurance for the participants (this is typically already covered by personal insurance of the participants). Invirtus will not assume liability for accidents caused by the participants.

Our prices depend on event location (most of the Benelux and parts of France and Germany), timing and the amount of instructors that need to be present.

A ballpark figure is € 100 per instructor per hour (all inclusive), where one instructor can typically cover about 10 participants. However, please contact us with more details for a personal quote.

Workshops

Our instructors are also available to teach more in-depth workshops on a multitude of HEMA-related topics.

We have previous experience teaching at international events, such as the Bunny Bash, Winterkamp, and SoCal Swordfight.

Previous workshop topics for example include: dagger and knife fighting, wrestling and modern unarmed techniques, armoured combat with half-sword, comparing various interpretations of the Schielhau, using tactics in a fight, introduction to Messer, kickboxing, etc.

For workshops at bigger events, we typically only ask the reimbursement of travel costs and/or free access to the event. For more focused workshops (e.g., a half or full-day taught by us exclusively), please contact us for a personal quote.
