Resources
Useful guides and important documents if you’re attending classes and / or events at our Edinburgh chapter in Scotland.
Black Boar Handbook
Our school’s handbook is an excellent reference document containing important information about how we operate. This includes our ethos, approach to teaching, weapon syllabus, rules and what’s expected of our students, and much more. All Black Boar members should read and familiarise themselves with the handbook’s content. We’ve linked the current version below, which you can download.
Please note, the handbook may be amended from time to time, so check back periodically to obtain the most up to date copy.
Advanced Scholar Assessment Form
Free scholars can develop their weapon skills further through the advanced syllabus, taught in class. To pass the advanced scholar assessment, students must demonstrate their understanding of the new techniques during self-directed free play sessions. You can record your progress on the advanced scholar assessment form. We’ve linked a template below, which you should print and keep with you when attending classes.
For more information about our assessment and progression structure, visit our grading system page.
Medical and Emergency Contact Form
We recommend all class and event participants keep relevant medical and emergency contact information on them, in case of any unexpected issues. This will help us and medical responders to better assist you should you require help. We’ve linked a template below, which you should print, fill out and keep with you when attending classes and events.
Please note, as per our privacy policy we don’t collect, store or maintain medical information or emergency contact details. Don’t email your completed form to us, or try to send it to us by any other means, as it will be immediately and permanently deleted. Instead, make sure you keep a physical copy on your person and in an easily accessible place (for example, your pocket or bag).
