A Study in HEMA Have you ever wanted to go right to a historical source only to find it confusing or overwhelming?  We know how you feel, which is why we are proud to present this practical study group class by James Cooper.  Every other Saturday, the class will read from various sources directly to both deepen their understanding of technique and lift the veil of mystery as to where these plays, interpretations, and drills we do come from.  While there is an academic portion to this class in reading sources together, it's very much an applied knowledge class where hands-on sword technique will be a major part.  Find your inner sword scholar, learning how to better read the historical sources while still learning how to hit people! You can start deep diving into sources with James starting Saturday, September 25th! Check out our website for more information!
