Youth HEMA Classes

At this time, the youth program is open to teens age 12 to 15. We intend to open another class in the future for younger members, so please check back again! 

Our classes are a blend of historical study and physical activity. Students will engage with historical texts from the medieval and renaissance periods to contextualize the sword fighting art they are taking part in. They will also have opportunities to do solo forms to help increase physical literacy; controlled paired drills to build communication and cooperation; and upon instructor approval and parental consent we allow controlled sparring with foam weapons to build respect, trust, and control. 

Mordhau Historical Combat provides all required equipment and foam simulators. All students are required to adhere to our Code of Conduct and we encourage them to participate in our rank system to help guide them through their journey in Historical European Martial Arts. 

Our instructors are certified, pass criminal record checks, and carry up to date first aid certification, as well as additional certifications and degrees that guarantee a safe and professional environment for your teen to learn in. 

We look forward to welcoming your teen into our school! Classes are on Sunday mornings at 9:00am. 

Please note that a legal guardian must be present to sign the liability waiver on the first day of class. The legal guardian must also be present in the studio for the duration of the first class.  Legal guardians are strictly those who have been appointed legal authority to make decisions on behalf of the minor.
