Core training takes place every Sunday morning 10am-1pm at the Abbey Sports Centre in Barking, London, with other training sessions taking place via Study Groups.

The first session is free and after that it is either £10 per session or £30 per month, if you become a member. Membership is £40 per year and gives full insurance, access to Study Groups, forum areas, BFHS membership, etc.

At the start there isn't any need for equipment as anything required will be loaned, but later you will need to invest in your own equipment.

The training itself covers the teachings of Fiore dei Liberi (c 1400). The whole system covers:

- Unarmed
- Unarmed v Dagger
- Dagger v Dagger
- Dagger v Sword
- Sword used one-handed
- Sword used two-handed
- Half Swording
- Pole Arms, Spears, etc.

The entire system is integrated - so, for example, unarmed techniques work within the sword techniques.
