Good Yule, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holidays from ELF HEMA 💚

(I forgot to take a picture at our Holiday party, so enjoy a post sparring sweaty group photo that I ducked in lieu of taking the pic 🫶)

Getting our Thursday on with some rapier at the park before the warm weather is completely gone ⚔️

#HEMA #WMA #Rapier
Four rapierists standing under a pavilion in the evening, in groups of two. Each has a fencing mask on and is facing another fence, rapiers in hand with blades crossed as they prepare for drills

What's a stab in the throat amongst friends? 😹

A little light rapier play on a sunny afternoon

A bit of quarterstaff flow in the park. I'm always excited when a student applies the technique we just did in class ❤️

Some random snapshots of fencing shenanigans from months past

Here are two Fencers engaged in a little light dual wielding, they were kind enough to pause for some pictures

I have months of backlogged pics, so expect more ⚔️

#HEMA #WMA #Sidesword #DuslWielding
Two Fencers engaged in dual wielding shenanigans. One in red and blue standing, defending with a blade and attacking with another, the other in black down low, a knee on the ground, attacking the standing Fencer's leg while defending with the other blade against the head Same dual wielding shenanigans from the opposite angle. There are two genders in the background standing and watching, as well as two sitting further back watching the exchange as well

A little Sword and Shield fun ⚔️

Never bait a woman to throw her shield away unless you're ready for the consequences 😹

Our class was unfortunately cancelled due to weather, but our coaches are working on the lesson plan anyway ⚔️

Last night's class accidentally became sparring. It wasn't the initial lesson plan; our evening went over by an hour and everyone left a little sweaty and a lot richer for having some individualized coached assessment of sparring. Overall, proud of everyone's progress ⚔️
