September, 8th & 9th, 2018
Cologne, Germany
 
The international gathering of enthusiasts of military swordsmanship.

The Event

It’s 2018! Time for another International Sabre Symposium!

As you may have already noticed a few things have changed. Another time, another place:

This year the ISS will be held on the weekend of September, 8th & 9 in Cologne, Germany.

The idea

The International Sabre Symposium (ISS) is a Historcial European Martial Arts (HEMA) event which is exclusively dedicated to sabres aswell as their ancestors, cousins and offsprings – no matter if it’s a shamshir, backsword, shashka, cutlass, tulwar or duelling sabre.

The theme

Of course we will have a wide range of classes dealing with the historical applications of our weapon of choice – from the general basics to very specific aspects of individual systems! Thus, no matter if you’re a beginner who hasn’t even heard about HEMA or an advanced practitioner looking for a broader view: if you’re interested in sabres and how they were used in history this is the event for you!
