Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) is a new and exciting combat sport for anyone with a love of history.
HEMA at its core is an effort to reconstruct old fighting systems from various points in european history, using original source materials. These sources often come in the form of fencing treatises which describes how techniques are performed in great detail.
HEMA is not just about studying dusty books though! As a young and rapidly expanding sport, it enjoys and active and passionate community-driven scene both nationally and internationally.
If you have ever wanted to learn how to wield a sword this sport is for you.
