Please Note: 

EGF is currently open for in-person classes. In addition, we are offering video classes for our students for a number of our classes. We will return to our regular schedule when we are able to do so. In the meantime, if you would like to join us for online lessons, please contact Jim to be included on the daily email list for video classes. We are happy to provide these classes to our community without charge while we cannot meet in person.

Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA)  (Ages 15+)

We are pleased to be offering a unique Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) program at EGF. If your interests lie more in the martial arts, this program may be for you. Every Tuesday from 7-9PM, Thursday from 7-9PM and Saturday from 9AM-12PM, Teens and Adults are welcome to try out our HEMA classes. We study the old texts written by the greatest sword masters in history. Take sword in hand, and learn about the proud history of the sword! Heavy saber is taught on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Thursdays and Saturdays feature the longsword and other Medieval weapons. Students as young as 13-14 years old may be accepted with proper training and coach permission. 

If you are interested in trying HEMA out, but with foam weapons rather than metal or plastic, then ask about our Foam Weapon HEMA classes.
