Who We Are

Alabama’s First Buhurt Team

The Iron Swan started with a simple belief — that the medieval martial tradition isn’t just for the history books, and that anyone with the heart for it deserves a place in the wall.

We fight under the banner of Armored Combat Worldwide out of Scottsboro — authentic armor, blunted steel, and unscripted fights decided by skill and grit, not choreography.

The truth most newcomers don’t expect: the sport is only half of it. The other half is the people — a crew that travels together, hauls gear at the faire, and pushes one another to be tougher than last season. You don’t need experience, armor, or even a desire to compete. You just need to show up.
