Description

What is softcombat Softcombat, or recreational medieval combat, is an activity where participants fight with foam replicas of medieval weapons: swords, shields, soft-tipped arrows, axes, spears and war hammers. All equipment is designed so impacts are safe, allowing dynamic combat with no injury risk.

How it works The session starts with basic fencing instruction: guards, defences, attacks and combinations. Participants then form teams and progress through themed missions: one-on-one duels, treasure raids, castle sieges and a final grand battle. Scenarios may be set in universes such as King Arthur, Game of Thrones or the Knights of the Round Table.

Who it's for This is a group activity ideal for stag and hen parties, birthdays, corporate team building or simply a different outing with friends. A minimum of 8 participants is required, and the minimum age ranges from 12 to 14 depending on the venue.

Where to do it Several options exist across the Madrid region, from oak-forest estates in the northern hills to multi-adventure centres with artificial grass pitches. Some venues offer add-on catering packages (paella, barbecue) and drinks.
