Did you know that HEMA isn't comprised of a single martial art, rather multiple arts through the ages?
Rapier from the renaissance. Sword and Buckler from the middle ages. Military Saber from the 18th & 19th centuries. The list goes on and on.
Common Questions: How do I know what I'm interested in? What are some places online where I can learn? What kind of equipment is out there? What does committing to study HEMA look like? How can I start and grow my club?
