Thread: HEMA - Historical European Martial Arts ......Anybody in to it ?

My last canes from CDavis Group.

The first is made with Crocus Wood. Expert Defensive Cane (discontinued)
The second is made with Hickory Heartwood. Maxima 2 Combat Cane

The crooks are wide enough to hook around an opponent's neck.

What does one of these go for?

As far as Kvetun is concerned probably looking around $350- $400. Usually when dealing with the armorers they have resellers that you go through to set up your orders. Kvetun has been workin with some notable HEMA instructors and so far it seems like he's putting out excellent product as a result of the collaboration.

So my Rapier cost $400CAD. The North American Dealer is Sword Gear you can find them on Facebook.
So I had my Rapier out for sparring lastnight and man my arm is sore. It's a heavy rapier and it's very long, I'm really going to have to work hard to build up my arm strength.

Practice making Z's.....that'll get that arm in shape. But then you'll hate the letter Z after that heh. Nice blade indeed.

After I master the claymore I'm gonna look into armimg sword. Then if there's time maybe spanish Rapier. By then I'll only be 105 years old so I should be good to go ha ha.

So I was out on friday night at another fight night in Grimsby. Had 5 longsword matches, 1 sabre, and 2 very interesting Rapier ( Rapier vs sword and buckler and Rapier vs Sabre)
Here is a Video of one of my Longsword matches

Several times. But considering I hit him in the head first the rest wouldn't have happen. Now if we were wearing plate we would both be fine.
