SUPERIOR HEMA
FENCING FOUNDATIONS
Our beginner program, Foundations, is the ideal place to start your HEMA journey. You'll learn the core movements and techniques of sword fighting while building confidence and skill at a pace that works for you. Most students are ready to join our advanced classes after two semesters, but you're always welcome to continue in Foundations if you'd prefer to further develop your fundamentals.
The program is based around participating in one class a week. However you can attend both classes if you want extra practice.
$140 / 3 months
No Gear Required
You don't need any special gear. Just clean indoor shoes, comfortable clothing, and a water bottle.
Some people do eventually buy their own mask and slowly accumulate gear for advanced classes over time.
Content
We go through the main elements of fencing, along with the simplified tactical wheel. Starting with footwork, distance, and simple attacks in the first month. Then moving onto defense, and compound actions.
Fundamentals
Each semester will cover the same general principles, but there will be some changes each time for those repeating foundations. The skills getting practiced are the most necessary whether you're new or have been fencing a long time.
