Want to fight like a Murmillo Gladiator or a 14th century German knight? HEMA is a collection of students seeking a more hands on approach to history. By training and sparring with the arms, armor, and reconstructed techniques of Greek, Roman, and Medieval warriors members gain a deeper understanding of the pressures and restrictions that guided the course of Western civilization. Participants use Hockey helmets and gloves in full contact sparring. A mix of Wrestling, Boxing, and sword fighting are employed interchangably to most realistically mimic the ancient fighting styles. No experiance required, anyone is welcome, and all activities are strictly Challenge-by-Choice.
