In 1551 Angelo Viggiani finished his "Schermo" for the Emporor of the Holy Roman Empire, consisting of the most perfect technique there is in historical fencing - a perfect defense, a perfect attack and all that in one tempo / motion.

In historical fencing or HEMA (for Historical European Martial Arts) we reconstruct sword fighting systems from historical sources. Our club focuses on Italian medieval and renaissance sources, fencing with the Spadone (Two-Handed Sword), Spear, Sidesword (One-Handed Sword) together with Shield, Cape, Dagger, you name it!
