Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) Fencing (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! Tuesdays are focused on the heavy saber, and Thursdays and Saturdays feature the longsword and other Medieval weapons. Students 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.

New! HEMA Fitness Class (All ages)

Our new HEMA Fitness Class is an amazing class for all ages. In HEMA Fit, we develop strength, flexibility and coordination, all while improving physical fitness at your pace. This is a very low/no-impact class, great for anyone who is recovering from an injury and looking for increased flexibility and mobility before tackling something more strenuous. Also great for anyone who wants a good workout using low weights. The pace is slow and steady, for maximum control and safety. One of the great things about this class is that the exercises can be easily modified for any level of physical ability.
