Armed Combat and Tactics is a
full contact weapon fighting martial art.
We are a school based in the North West of the UK, dedicated to teaching the practical use of both bladed and impact weapons.
Our purpose is to improve our fighting skill by practicing an effective
fighting system applicable to an extensive arsenal of weapons,
as well as to provide a safe ground for the testing of combative weapon
skills while staying as close as possible to the realities of combat.
Practitioners of ACT study to become proficient in the use of Bolo, Knife, Medium Staff, Katana, Spear and European Longsword.
Under instruction from Nathan Shallcross practitioners are taught how to use these weapons
and also the tactical aspects of their use in combat.
Classes are held three times a week in Chester and Conwy on a Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Classes are open to anyone whether you have any martial arts experience or not.
The minimum age for practitioners is 18 years old.
