Training

Without good quality regular training we are unable to maintain our high standards. Any warrior wishing to campaign with us will need to train with us beforehand.

The fighting technique we use is known as 'The Jomsviking System' and was developed and refined by Mike Heywood (Thorgeir) and Phil Burthem (Ulf Eirik). The Jomsviking System focuses on a balance of strength, speed and skill, allowing the warrior to be deadly and look good whilst slaying his foes.

This Jomsviking System has been taught, adopted and imitated across the planet; UK, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, France, Greece, Holland, Norway, Iceland, Canada, Australia, USA - all these and many more countries have benefited from over 20 years of experience of this dynamic western martial art.

The Army of Jomsborg is the largest and best trained viking army in the world, with well over 250 warriors all trained in the Jomsviking System. The Jomsviking System was developed by Mike Heywood and Phil Burthem, and is the internationally accepted (steel based) fighting standard within Europe and in many countries without. Many groups and societies have borrowed or base their own fighting methods on ours but none have surpassed the original. Amongst our ranks are many trained martial artists who ensure the high standards required to be proficient in the Jomsviking techniques are being met. To be a fully qualified Jomsviking Training Officer can take months or even years, with experience and knowledge going hand in hand and the Training Officer being taught not only in the personal combat techniques but also in tactical line fighting, skirmishing and what to do when all hell breaks loose!
