Historical European Medieval Martial Arts in Frisco!

Bicentennial Park

Ongoing training and study of the "Arte e Scientia d'Armizare" ("Art & Science of Armed Fighting") of Italian medieval fight-master Fiore dei Liberi. Yes, the medieval Europeans had their own martial art systems!

ARTE E SCIENTIA D'ARMIZARE

Using medieval manuscripts we are studying and practicing what European professional soldiers (mercenaries) and nobles learned about mortal combat 600 years ago in northern Italy, from fightmaster Fiore dei Liberi. The Arte e Scientia d'Armizare, which survives today in the form of several manuscripts in museums, includes hand to hand combat/grappling, dagger fighting, longsword fighting and fighting with a seven foot spear.

Your "Istruttore" (Instructor) in Fiore's Arte e Scientia d'Armizare is Colin Hatcher, a martial artist of over 40 years, beginning in 1977, with over 30 years as an instructor. In addition to a long history with the Eastern martial arts Colin has also been studying and teaching the Historical European Martial Arts (known as "HEMA") for over 20 years.

This meet-up is run by historical European martial arts (HEMA) school "Accademia del Leone" ("The Academy of the Lion"), founded in 2014.

No prior knowledge or skill is required. You will find us a welcoming group and safety is a priority. Please wear comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring water to keep hydrated.
