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.)
