Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) is a serious extension of historical research outside of the regular re-enactment scene, covering all manner of weapons and combat systems from the early Medieval to late Victorian eras (see our post What is HEMA?).
West Devon Swords is fully insured with BFHS and has two qualified coaches in a variety of historical weapons.
We can provide safe instruction in metal and synthetic weapons for adults. See our post: HEMA – is it safe?
Our offer for HEMA includes:
- beginners’ courses – single weapon and tasters, 4, 5 and six week blocks
- taster sessions
- demonstrations and displays
- fund-raisers
- corporate events
