Academy of European Medieval Martial Arts

An amazing school . Great group of people . AEMMA will teach you things from the past that will make complete sense in the present . Drop in and give them a go . You wont be disappointed .

This is a welcoming and supportive environment with excellent instruction, professional equipment, and great facilities. You will learn something here.

Informative, supportive, and to-the-point. There's a lot of friendliness and genuine passion in this place from everybody, not just the instructors. There's also a surprisingly wide variety of members from all age groups and genders.AEMMA feels like a diverse group of volunteer researchers working together to rediscover the lost arts through primary sources and experimentation. I use the word volunteer' because it seems that genuine questioning and insights are more important to AEMMA than authority and tradition alone. It's made clear to beginners early on during training that the curriculum is merely the current "consensus" that can be and must be continuously scrutinized in the name of rediscovery. However

Trained here for a number of years and found it great. I started as a rank beginner and left much fitter, more confident, better educated and having had a lot of fun. The premises are clean, spacious and well lit. The instructors were knowledgable and very safety conscious. The quality of the equipment was very good. Would recommend to any one interested in medieval history, swordplay or western martial arts at all.

This is a legit place where you can learn real, historical European Martial Arts like fencing, dagger, and grappling. Instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and make it a fun experience

Everything begins here.

AEMMA folks are very welcoming to people curious about the 14th century medieval martial arts, willing to take time to explain the basic footwork and body mechanics involved in wrestling, dagger and sword play. Classes are structured to teach basics to new recruits and to challenge advanced students with sparring opportunities and cross club events to test yourself. Come on out and see what they are about!
