European Medieval Arts of Arms, llc (EMAA) is an organization dedicated to the revival and teaching of medieval and renaissance fighting techniques. Future knights learn combat skills derived from historical sources, archeological research, and an understanding of human anatomy and movement. This dynamic curriculum makes EMAA instructors pioneers of the European Martial Arts industry and our academy the first of its kind in the United States.

Students begin by learning the sword and then progress to other medieval weapons. An EMAA knight will know how to use the broadsword, sword and shield, long-sword, staff, dagger, pike, and a plethora of other weapons and fighting styles. They will also be trained in grappling and unarmed striking techniques.

Future knights also study medieval history and learn about the role of knights during that time. Students learn about the armor, clothing, society, truth and myth surrounding the medieval warrior. European Medieval Arts of Arms is also dedicated to keeping chivalry alive by encouraging virtues such as valor, loyalty, honesty, and respect.

With a focus on health, safety, and camaraderie, our academy is an excellent resource for everyone, regardless of age, experience or lifestyle.
