What is #HEMA?
3/6
I study the teachings of the XIV century fight master Johannes #Liechtenauer . These are usually called #KunstDesFechtens (#KdF, the «art of combat»).
He composed a poem, called the #Zettel, which describes «with secret and hidden words» techniques and advice on fighting with the two-handed #sword (#longsword), in (#Harnischfechten) and out of armour (#Bloßfechten), and also on #horse (#Roßfechten) with the #spear.
(Yep, that's me on the photo, teaching — I'm a #showoff.)
@efan yes there were!
I believe you can see them here:
Anexado: 1 imagem What is HEMA? 1/6 So I'm into Historical European #martialarts, #HEMA. What is this? In essence: martial arts that were once in use, but no more. Practice was lost — there's no living Mr. Miyagi to learn from. These artes had their masters, however, and some of them wrote books. From these old texts we can reconstruct the practice: https://wiktenauer.com/ While I focus on arts from the european area, be aware that similar initiatives exist for martial arts of Africa, Asia or America.
