Boston Armizare is a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) group. We're happy to host visiting scholars from other programs!
Boston Armizare is a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) group researching and practicing Medieval and Renaissance combat according to the teachings of Fiore de'i Liberi and other Italian masters. Our students are dedicated to the rigorous study and effective practice of Armizare (The Art of Bearing Arms -- an integrated system of longsword, dagger, grappling, and more). We emphasize the martial efficacy and historical accuracy of our techniques and test our interpretations with speed and intent. No experience is necessary -- new students should take our introductory class first; contact our instructors for more information.
