WHO WE ARE

Phx%20Society%20Annual_edited.jpg

The Phoenix Society is an affiliate of the HEMA Alliance and teaches Historical European Martial Arts. This means we look at masters from Europe's past and try to re-create their art. See some of what we teach.​

​

We teach the use of many weapons including, but not limited to, the longsword, saber, and rapier. We use source material to do this and the years of experience from our instructors.

​

We try to teach our students quickly so that they can get into sparring where their art can be applied. We often go to events and host our own.

​

We do not seek to teach lifelong students, but instead teach our students to become competent, so they in turn can teach others.

During this class we will introduce you to what Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) is and you'll get to try a bit of everything the Phoenix Society has to offer. Ages 15+.
  • What Do I Wear?
    For your first session we recommend wearing comfortable work out clothes. Please wear shoes that do not have a heavy tread as we practice on padded floors. The Phoenix Society has a wealth of equipment necessary for practice and sparring. Loaner gear is available at no extra cost to students.
