"the field" Odessa park
Mission
The purpose of this para-athletic group is to have fun safely by recreating historic medieval combat with padded hand-to-hand weapons. We will practice weekly, compete with other fighting groups, attend national and international events, and bring glory to Malkier.
What is Malkier?
We are a group of fighters of various ages, from our 20's and up, who are employed in all sorts of professions, from London Ontario, Canada and it's surrounding communities. We adhere to the rules and decorum of the Belegarth Medieval Combat Society. We will be happy to teach techniques and help develop personal growth in the sport, because we are all just fighting to have fun. We practice in Odessa Park every Sunday from 1pm to 3pm, unless otherwise posted on our Facebook group.
What is Belegarth?
Belegarth is a medieval fantasy combat system with safe full contact rules in place. It's a lesser fantasy LARP that originated in the 80's with many Tolkien themes. Traditional LARP play styles score hits against health or hit points, but not in Belegarth, so there is less information to remember. Bel also allows for some tactics which are disallowed from many other game styles. It is a game largely dominated in the United States, with very few Canadian realms, so we get a lot of attention at internation events.
