KDF International

Kunst Des Fechtens, the Art of Fighting, is a modern martial art, re-discovered from the surviving treatises of medieval and renaissance Germany which describe the combat styles used with their contemporaries. This style  was originally a closely guarded secret and a development of previous fighting styles of northern Europe and beyond.

KDF International is an association of likeminded clubs whose aim is to promote the study, development and practice of this martial arts tradition, in particular those of the Master, Johannes Liechtenauer.

KDF was formed in 2006 and has a number of chapters across both Britain and Europe.
