Home sweet home! We just finished our first week of classes at our new home!
We're excited for everything to come together and welcome students into our new gym.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!
Hope to see you there! ⚔️

Two HEMA fencers in a gym. One in protective gear and one in regular street clothes.
Three years ago today my wife and I took this "Intro to Longsword" class at our local #HEMA club. I enjoyed it so much I came back the next week for my first free class and now 3 years later I am helping to run the club as we settle into our own private training space. Crazy! ⚔️
Nach fast sieben Jahren DIMICATOR Schola und vier Jahren mit unverändertem Trainingsplan probieren wir jetzt etwas Neues. Buntes Programm für Einsteiger und mehr Trainingszeiten für die Fortgeschrittenen, damit sie schneller vorankommen.

Hotel is booked for SERFO in June! We did a shared house last year but I am too old to sleep on a trundle bed and share a bathroom with 7 other people, before trying to go fence in the morning 😀 My back alone applauds my hotel decision! #HEMA
With our new location comes some new classes. In Wednesday night longsword we are starting an extensive Fiore (sword in 2 hands) module that is expected to last the next few months. Super looking forward to it. #HEMA

These two were pleasures to fence. A feeling of constant progression throughout the Smallsword class. Bringing different approaches to each exchange.
Sweaty, charming beauty.

Yayyyy new sword! I wanted something with an ambidextrous hilt so I could switch to righty when teaching. It's a touch shorter and much more back-weighted than my swept hilt, which I think I prefer. I also had the grip shortened to fit my baby hands. Made by Seven Embers Forge. #HEMA #rapier

Got my Meyer coloring book yesterday thanks to a classmate bringing it back from SoCal for me. It looks fun! #HEMA
Gunterrodt's Sciomachia and Hoplomachia is a text of exceptional richness for the intellectual context of #fightbooks. It is also the translation of one of the few Latin texts in the corpus, as most fight books are written in vernacular (German in particular). #Neo-Latin Studies #HEMA
Fundamentally excellent.
As a treat and as we are off next week we took the fundamentals class and showed them a lot more options than we usually would. Incredibly impressed by how well they did.

Ethan’s really leaning into this whole “rapier in two hands” thing #rapier #hema #boston #massachusetts #fencing

This game Halfsword is really great. Helped keep me interested in #hema while I was recovering from an injury. It's a little janky but the accuracy is really immersive. Strong recommend. I only wish you could set the tiers backwards because Commoner/ soldier is the most fun if you like swords.

Duelling at Wasaslaget, 3 weeks ago. Rapier and dagger, both of us was tired. #hema
One of the local sword groups does a Fechtschule thing every couple months with every #HEMA weapon available. Fought longsword, greatsword, rapier, saber and sidesword!

Swords for good! ⚔️⚔️⚔️ #hema

I've never seen a book or movie where someone in battle had their life saved by armor. I watched some #hema fighters wailing on each other and it was amazing, so I carved this. "Adamant"
Attacked I tell you!
Still laughing, made my day😊❤️

Three weeks ago, I competed in rapier and dagger for the first time. I (black and yellow pants) had close matches, lost four and won one! In three weeks I get a new chance, in single rapier (and also longsword, sword and buckler and sabre). #hema
This will be the second entry in the Mars & Sol collection, directed by @heleneleblanc.bsky.social and myself with les éditions Solstices - an endeavour to promote a free access to #HEMA sources as well as physical editions of french translations.
In jeder Trainingseinheit üben wir, wie man die gegnerische Klinge kontrolliert. Mit diesem wichtigen Aspekt von Raumplanung als Fundament lassen sich viele weitere Fechtsituationen und -aktionen besser einordnen – Grundlagen im besten Sinne.
