What is HEMA?
Historical European Martial Arts, or HEMA, is the study of medieval and renaissance martial arts from Europe. HEMA is based on surviving fencing instruction manuals and manuscripts that describe martial techniques and weapon systems, and HEMA practitioners study these manuals to reconstruct the martial art.

What do we study?
We primarily focus on the teachings of Johannes Liechtenauer, a late-14th century German fencing master. He developed a system that comprises longsword, dagger, polearm, and even mounted combat. Our coaches have studied this and other systems for years and are ready to pass along their knowledge in every class.
