Ninth House HEMA

09/09/2026

Purpleheart Armoury is just about the best place to find new HEMA protective gear, and the basic stuff that any club needs. All of our masks are from here, and just about every instructor or competitor in Marquette has something from them.

We have always steered students to them by offering to cover shipping, and thanks to our new partnership, we can now offer further discounts!

We just added epeē blades and smallswords to our loaner gear inventory, and they are a great analog for everything from rapier to saber. Want to practice thrusts without wearing out your shoulder? Come see us, sundays at 6pm.
