Training partners wanted: EUROPEAN martial arts, HEMA
Description
Free, no experience needed. Looking for training partners, not offering a class.
HEMA or ‘Historical European Martial Arts’ are the historical fighting methods used in the 1400-1800s, and recorded by the Fight Masters of the period in manuscripts and books. HEMA martial arts have been rapidly increasing in popularity in contrast to the more commonly known Western martial arts such as Karate and similar methods.
I’m looking for people interested in learning and training in the methods written in the historical European ‘Fechtbuchs’ or fight books, many of which I own in print or PDF that we can study and practice from.
I have practiced and trained on my own for years, however, these martial arts are best suited to practice with others.
Again, this is totally free... I’m not running an official HEMA class or training center.
I’m simply looking for like-minded people interested in learning and training, and want to stay/get fit and be active.
It’s a great way to be physical and get outdoors. No formal equipment is required for many of the methods, so there will be no gear to purchase in order to get started. Alongside wrestling and hand-to-hand combat, I will also be practicing sword and dagger with HEMA official training weapons or wooden replicas. If that is also of interest to you, safety gear such as HEMA masks, gloves etc. will eventually be needed.
Looking to meet up once a week or more, can meet day or evening. I’m going to continue to train year-round, so if you are willing to practice hands-on, learn HEMA combat training, and want to know more... hit me up here or text and I’d be happy to chat and meet up to explain all about it.
