If you have the necessary equipment already then you should bring it along as newcomers are always given priority with the Society's equipment stock. FIE level 2 (1600N) fencing mask. A heavy gauge fencing mask is necessary. A standard fencing jacket such as those used in sports fencing. Original or reproduction mi...

The weekly blog for the Academy of Historical Arts. The limitations with experimental archaeology. November 4, 2016. Last week I wrote a post called The Importance of Written Sources. And in that article, I mentioned using experimental archaeology in the context of HEMA to help recreate fighting systems for which we do not have any written sources. Shortly after I wrote this, an article was published on ScienceNordic [1]. In essence, the experiment is designed to compare the effectiveness of passive vs&#...

The weekly blog for the Academy of Historical Arts. Review: the Museum Replica Feder from Regenyei Armory. July 3, 2015. I recently acquired one of the Museum Replica feders. Made by Péter Regenyei, and I would like to take the opportunity to write a review of this training tool. Daniel Jaquet of GAGSchola took some measurements of an original federschwert [1]. 8211; full length: 130 cm. 8211; blade length: 96 cm. 8211; hilt length: 34 cm. 8211; grip length: 29.2 cm. 8211; pommel length: 4.3 cm.

Fight with all your strength | Encased in Steel

http://www.encasedinsteel.co.uk/2015/08/14/fight-with-all-your-strength

The weekly blog for the Academy of Historical Arts. Fight with all your strength. August 14, 2015. Personally, I do believe that sparring with minimal gear, and sparring at slow speeds is very important and useful [2]. However, if this becomes the only or dominant form of training, then this may represent a problem. A fencer who never fences at high speed with force is a fencer who does not know how to deal with an opponent who will fence against them at high speed with force. 8220;And when he says &#822...

The weekly blog for the Academy of Historical Arts. What skills do you need to make your interpretation work? August 12, 2016. Goliath (MS Germ.Quart.2020), folio 22r. When we read a section of text from one of the historical fencing treatises, there is a wealth of information required to make the techniques work effectively. Unfortunately, much of this information is not communicated explicitly in the sources, especially in the medieval sources. July 8, 2016. I worked through this process myself, severa...

Review of the Trnava from Regenyei | Encased in Steel

http://www.encasedinsteel.co.uk/2015/07/25/review-of-the-trnava-from-regenyei

The weekly blog for the Academy of Historical Arts. Review of the Trnava from Regenyei. July 25, 2015. Recently I acquired a Trnava feder. By Regenyei. The Trnava differs quite a lot from Regenyei’s standard feders, so I thought it would be worth doing a short review. There are different models of the Trnava, so you could buy a Trnava light if you wanted a slightly lighter sword. I decided to go for the original Trnava, which is heavier. This sword lends itself to thrusting a bit more than the standard f...
