Competing is only one part of studying HEMA, but for those who want it, we can help you get there. Start your sword journey today with a beginner's course or even a dagger date with a friend, lover, or frenemy to see if it's for you. Can't wait to cross swords with you!

There aren't enough words to express our thanks to the HEMA community that showed up, to the new sword fans who braved the rain, and to who supported our weird from day one. We can't wait to see you all next year for another Tournament of St. Ambrose! We can't wait to see you next year!

One of the best parts of HEMA is finding a community you can count on. Like when you're in between pools and you need to shorten the handle on your rapier to keep the pommel from flying off. You can count on Kevin Franklin of Dirty Rotten Pirate Leather to have the tools and heart to help.

When it's exciting to START painting and much less exciting to KEEP painting...

It's pretty un-BEE-lieveable (yes, bee puns) that we are sold out for our very first swordfighting event at St. Ambrose. We are beyond excited to showcase some great fighting with both our local and visiting competitors, as well as some fun exhibition fights.
