Boston Armizare Boston Armizare is a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) group. We're happy to host visiting scholars from other programs!

Boston Armizare is a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) group researching and practicing Medieval and Renaissance combat according to the teachings of Fiore de'i Liberi and other Italian masters. Our students are dedicated to the rigorous study and effective practice of Armizare (The Art of Bearing Arms -- an integrated system of longsword, dagger, grappling, and more). We emphasize the martial efficacy and historical accuracy of our techniques and test our interpretations with speed and intent. No experience is necessary -- new students should take our introductory class first; contact our instructors for more information.

Thanks so much to Mayor Michelle Wu 吳弭 for hanging out with us at Open Streets Roslindale!

Our last month-long historical fencing beginner class for women, trans, and non-binary folks was so popular that we’re holding another! Every Wednesday night in January, students will learn the art of the Italian longsword and rapier in a safe and welcoming environment, taught by our coaches Ania, Annette, and Roseanna. By signing up, you’ll learn a little bit of the historical sources we use to inform our techniques, how to wield a sword with confidence, and how to attack and defend in a way that would make the medieval and renaissance masters proud. E-mail us at [email protected] to learn more!
