Good news Friends,
We have started our new German Historical Fencing course!
German Historical Fencing, or our Deutscher Historischer Fechtverein, explores the Augsburg school of swordsmanship, a tradition of historical dueling arts originating in the southeastern region of what is now Germany. Students will be instructed in the art and techniques of the Longsword, Messer, and Bauernwehr.
This series is designed to guide students towards a fulfilling hobby of Historical Fencing that includes elements of fitness training, skills, and free-fencing bouts. Additionally, students wishing to compete in HEMA Tournament settings will find this class helpful as it builds familiarity with organized fencing exchanges, judging, and score-keeping.
All the German Historical Fencing classes are Beginner Friendly
and are designed for
students of all levels of experience.
Newer students will be introduced to fundamental skills and general lessons while experienced students will engage in more advanced practice.
This course runs on Saturdays and is comprised of three related sessions:
- Sword Fitness
- Skills
- Applications
