Many people enjoy the science and grace of hurling potentially deadly objects over distances both short and long. The EMP supports the practice of these activities as they were practiced in the ancient world. Archery, thrown weapons, crossbows and catapults are all welcomed, and with proper safety modifications, allowed into the combat arena. click here for more about archery and thrown weapons. »

 

 

 

The Empire is fundamentally family oriented and children are an integral part of our design. We always try and have some form of activity specifically designed for the kids. Everything from scavenger hunt/quests to mini tournaments with specially designed foam weapons. A safe and fun way for parents and children to participate in our events together and get them interested in history as well.click here for more about childrens fighting and activities. »
