whats it like

Well HEMA is full contact so we can grapple with the opponent, we use metal swords but they are not sharp, and we read from texts created during the renaissance as a base for it

interesting

you still wear body protection tho right

Oh yeah, not so much full plate armor as much as padded clothes, they are thick enough to avoid injury tho

what type of swords do you use

I do longword mostly, and that is the main thing taught in class, but we have used Spears, rapiers, and dusaq(a cutlass like blade), tho only occasionally

sounds very fun

Yeah, you can google them, their organization is pretty big

ill google them rn

If their acronym doesn’t work try googling, “historical European Martial Arts”

lol theres even people doing it in turkey

thats crazy

Yeah, as I said these are historical texts so they are done pretty much everywhere in some form

i see

Although, I am no expert on the material or association, so take my words with a grain of salt

The Hagia Sophia will be a church once more
