Winnipeg Knightly Arts

Historical European Martial Arts School

Winnipeg HEMA swordsmanship school focused on the Lichtenauer school of combat.

We study Historical European Martial Arts and currently focus on German Longsword. In the future we plan to expand into Langes Messer, Dagger, Wrestling, and Pollaxe.

Longsword/Langes Messer

Come out and train in the German art of Longsword . The curriculum is based on the historical manuals of the medieval masters, taught in a practical principles based method we’ve been developing over the past decade of training.

Classes initially focus on the basics of fencing, including fundamental cuts, thrusts, and Winden or a winding action done from the bind. Then we expand on how to apply these actions and practice doing them in common fencing scenarios against a resisting opponent.

Wrestling/Pollaxe/Dagger

We also train these weapons and skills usually as an extra activity on weekends during the summer.

Extra classes focusing on other weapons may be available outdoors on weekends depending on interest.
