Or, if you're already doing Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), to deepen your knowledge. I remember starting with HEMA and historical fencing over two decades ago and having tonnes of questions. Now there is so much more information and I want to help you with the things that I didn't know back then. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🏆 Other places I run 🏆 St Mark – Fencing clothing and equipment ► https://www.saintmark [https://www.saintmark].se The Fencing Guild – a ranking organisation ► www.fencingguild [http://www.fencingguild].com Facebook page for THF ► https://www.facebook.com/historicalfe..

EP 11 – Scott Hellroth talks about prank calling fencing celebrities, commenting and the live feed.

Ep 10 – Samuel Spånberger on fencing, character, life and building catapults

We had one of our favourite people on the podcast. Samuel Spånberger tells the story about why he once stopped fencing, what fencing has meant for him in his life, and where he's going in the future. This one was shot and recorded in Grövelsjön, Älvdalen, where we went hiking for a few days. So, we threw in some bonus photos from the hike over on our Youtube channel. Check it out! https://youtu.be/bsZQyNw_JVY [https://youtu.be/bsZQyNw_JVY]

Ep 9 – A shift in historical fencing culture?

In this episode we talk about historical fencing culture, local club culture, small events and many other things. Also, for the first time we filmed the podcast. At least parts of it since we ran into technical difficulties after a while.

Ep 8 – Sparring

We dispel a common myth in historical fencing about sparring. We also compare how other sports view training and drilling.
