Welcome to HEMA. This site is dedicated to the almost-lost arts of
unarmed combat, dagger fighting and close-quarters sword combat as they
were practiced throughout Europe centuries ago.
Over the past ten years there has been an explosion of interest in
reviving the ancient European martial arts. Many written and
illustrated records of the fighting arts of Europe, especially during
the Medieval and Renaissance periods, have now become freely available
via the Internet. Groups and individuals all over the world are
working together to translate and interpret their lessons.
Consistently, what has been discovered represents a rich and
sophisticated tradition, equal in all respects to the classical Asian
martial arts. Just as modern practitioners look back with respect upon
the ko-ryu (ancient schools) of Bujutsu, so too may they draw
inspiration from the Masters of old Europe.
There are already many sites on the Web dedicated primarily to
historical fencing and swordplay, but relatively few devoted to the
arts of close-range and unarmed combat. Thus, the HEMA site is intended
to provide:
- introductory information about historical European combat grappling
and dagger systems
- links to online copies and translations of the old fighting manuals
- practical applications of the historical techniques, adapted for
realistic self-defense and NHB-style competition
- links to related organisations and resources
HEMA is apolitical in nature, and hopes to foster respect, enthusiasm
and camaraderie among all researchers and practitioners.
We hope you enjoy your stay!

Interesting topic, I'm quite interested about Italian Scrima; I read
some Italian references, but unfortunately your link doesn't work on my
pc.
