About
Fighters Guild RVA is a club focused on training Historical European Martial Arts, better known as HEMA. This means we study a range of European weapons systems, dating from throughout the medieval era, leading into the early-modern. Our classes are a fusion of historical technique and modern training, taught in a controlled environment with provided equipment.
Our Club
Fighters Guild was first brought together in Orange County California, when a group of friends from different HEMA Clubs decided to hold weekly sparring in a local park, way back in 2018. Soon, our weekly training sessions grew into a fully-fledged club. However, with time and the changing state of life, we all went our separate directions. Flash forward to today, where life is a little less crazy, and we are once again starting up our weekly training – this time in beautiful Richmond, Virginia!
Our goal here is to gather people who share our love of physical challenge, friendly competition, and a pursuit for knowledge; while growing as friends and martial artists! Together we will study the fighting techniques of the past, and put them into modern application. Although we are currently only training in longsword, we hope to expand our focus to eventually include dagger, saber, polearm, and more as our classes grow.
If you read all this and think it is for you, check out our classes and join us for training!
