HEMA Classes

Schola Gladiatoria sword fighting classes in London & Woking


Learn HEMA: sword fighting, dagger, spear, bayonet and other weapons from original historical systems, with certified (British Combat Association) instructors. Teaching since 2001.

Real Sword Fighting Techniques

We teach original historical fencing methods with a variety of weapons, directly from period treatises and manuals. As a club, we focus primarily on Medieval longsword and dagger, and 19th century sabre and cutlass.

Friendly & Inclusive

Beginners and experienced fencers welcome (over-18). Most people come to HEMA with no related background training, but we also get experienced modern fencers, as well as people with Asian martial arts backgrounds.

Fun & Accomplished

We let people take their training to whatever level they want to. We have people who train occasionally, when they feel like it, as well as experienced fighters who have won tournaments, leagues and lots of medals.
