These guys are as real as it gets. Working with recently re-translated material from German and Spaniard sources this school is an incredible and rare resource for individuals who wish to learn from those traditions.The school is reasonably priced, located in a really good place accessible by public transportation. The instructors there are the nicest people you will ever want to meet. They are friendly, treat students with respect, and without the snobbery that many newcomers experience in other schools.In short, if you are looking to learn sword-fighting in the traditional form, which includes the training of the mind, body and spirit, you will find a home here.

Small classroom sizes make instruction very personable but perhaps a bit lonely. That being said the instructor pointed out this is typical for this time of year.The instructors are friendly and excited to share their craft with beginners. The enthusiasm is real and theyve helped move my needle toward wanting to make HEMA a regular hobby rather than a passing interest.Very interested in continuing instruction with this school after trying it once, as soon as I can take care of some expenses.
