Timing and distance are arguably among the most important things to learn for any martial artists. In the 16th century fencing masters already wrote in detail about the topic on how to plan your actions and attacks to defeat your opponent without getting hit! It’s time to talk about Tempo!
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!
