At Highland, we delve into the rich traditions of European sword fighting, focusing on historical accuracy, martial effectiveness, and a supportive community. We study manuscripts, interpret techniques, and bring them to life through dedicated practice and respectful sparring.

HEMA encompasses a wide array of martial traditions, including longsword, rapier, dagger, wrestling, and more, based on surviving instructional texts from the 14th to the early 20th centuries. It's a journey into history, physical discipline, and intellectual inquiry.
