Trainer for the Art of Fighting

Even the most seasoned fighters need training to improve themselves, while new fighters need to learn the basics of battle and weapon skills. For this reason, there are trainers for fighting skills in every towne of Britannia.

However, the fighters should inform themselves first, what kind of training the trainer offers. Some train in dexterity, others in strength or combat finesse. The smart traveller will compare the prices and training methods of the trainers, to find the ones who fits best to the personal fighting style, or can reduce existing weaknesses.
