Greetings

Welcome to the Auckland School of European Martial Arts.

We are a branch of the larger New Zealand School of European Martial Arts (N.Z.S.E.M.A) we are a small school which specializes in the study and practice of historical and cultural martial traditions and self defense systems from across Europe and throughout the ages.

For some students this is a way of reclaiming a link to their ancestral culture and heritage for others it's a way of connecting with a period or culture that inspires them or just an opportunity to learn something a little different from the arts popularized in television and movies.

Our focus is H.E.M.A (Historical European Martial Arts) which is a mix of study and experimental archeology in an attempt to reconstruct historically accurate and martially functional interpretations of everything from sword play, historical fencing and knightly martial arts through to the walking stick self defence systems of the 19th century and pugilism of the pre-gloved era.

CLASS SCHEDULE

What you need to get started

We provide all basic equipment required for training Drill work and limited equipment for dynamic drills for our new learners, all you need is clothing you can move comfortably in.

As attendees progress and develop they need to invest in their own equipment especially as they develop toward assaulting, free play and/or sparring.
