Come step back in time with the Adrian Empire and become a knight.
We are a Medieval Reenactment group open to all ages.
Our group participates in numerous events and activities:
- Monthly tournaments
- Wars (2 official wars per year and various friendly wars)
- Demonstrations (we visit schools, Renaissance Faires, Boy and Girl Scout events, etc....)
Our monthly events consist of 3 types of sword fighting, archery (Melbourne only), and arts/crafts.
COMBAT:
Male and female under the age of 18 must have written parental/guardian approval.
The minimum age requirements for combat participation in Adrian tournaments, wars or demonstrations are:
- Shinai (bamboo kendo stick): 12 years of age
- Rapier (musketeer type sword): 14 years of age
Here are a few things you may need to bring if you wish to sword fight:
- a thick sweatshirt
- sweatpants
- close toed shoes
- groin protection (for men)
Our group has all the other necessary safety and protective gear needed for you to use.
We give an extensive safety brief and teach you how to sword fight.
ARCHERY:
Archery is held in Melbourne at our event on the third Sunday of every month.
We can provide the bows and arrows.
Arts and Crafts:
Arts and crafts are held during every event. The arts and crafts are of the time period and how they created the items.
Some examples are:
- Sewing clothing, banners, flags, hats, etc...
- Making buttons, pins, pendants, boots, etc...
- Reciting poetry, putting on short plays, etc...
We have 2 convenient locations where we meet monthly:
Orlando- Lake Mills Park (first Saturday of every month)
Melbourne- Wickham Park (third Sunday of every month)
You are welcome to attend either event or both events.
