About Us

We’re a close knit group of HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) practitioners in Columbus, Ohio. We currently meet twice a week, our schedule is kept up to date in our Discord server (hit the link above to join).

We host open sparring Wednesday nights as well as more structured training or classes on Saturday afternoons. From beginners, with Boffers and masks, to experienced fencers, with full gear and steel weapons, we want to offer you a glimpse into the martial past as well as the opportunity to train for competitive tournaments hosted by clubs nationally and internationally.
