What is HEMA?

HEMA stands for Historical European Martial Arts. We reconstruct fencing techniques from original medieval and Renaissance fencing manuals. More than show and competition — genuine martial arts that were forgotten for centuries and are being rediscovered today.

Events

A special experience for you and your group — whether birthday, bachelor party or corporate team event.

Corporate Team Event

No escape room, no wine tasting. Your team fights together — real team building that resonates for weeks.
