Stav Camp 2025

Exploring the Five Principles of Stav

We hope to have the date for the 2026 event arranged by the end of this October. In the meantime please read our brief report on the event and see some pictures and videos taken at the event. Our next event is a day seminar in Salisbury on the 18th of October, full details here

The 2025 Stavcamp went very well. 8 people attended with Graham Butcher instructing. The weather was good and we started each day with staff exercises and a version of the stances. On Friday the Trel version, on Saturday, the Karl Galdre, and on Sunday the Jarl Galdre version. During the day we spent a couple of sessions working on martial training beginning with 5 principles staff drills. We also looked at close quarter self–defence, five principles knife defence, and training with the cudgel/walking stick.

Those who were attending their first camp were taken through the Fylgia exercise. We also had a tree recognition walk in which we endeavoured to find all 18 of the significant Stav trees, not all were present but it was an interesting exercise all the same. In the evenings we had a very pleasant time around the campfire.
