HEMA

Our Stainless Steel Scent Stopper style pommel is cast in the UK from premium grade stainless steel ensuring a lifetime of use with the minimum of maintenance. They can be used to increase the weight of your sword to something more similar to the real thing (especially if combined with our Stainless Steel Guard). The addition of a steel pommel brings the weight and point of balance closer to the hilt making for a lighter (feeling) and faster blade.

Historical Self-Defence with a Walking Stick according to Pierre Vigny
Edward Barton-Wright was one of the first Europeans to learn Ju-Jitsu in Japan. Back in London, he founded a club where he taught the upper class in self-defence. He combined the most effective martial arts of his time: Canne Vigny, boxing, Savate and Ju-Jitsu. In doing so, he pioneered Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). His art of self-defence was named Bartitsu.
The teacher for stick fighting in the Bartitsu Club was Pierre Vigny. He adapted the techniques of classical French stick fighting ("La Canne") for self-defence.

Our Red Dragon HEMA Synthetic Messer Blades are manufactured from our own special blend of plastic to provide strong and flexible sparring blade. The blade/tang joint (traditionally a weak point) is reinforced by a high tensile steel rod running along the full length of the handle. This also removes any flex in the handle traditionally associated with plastic training swords. The edges are left smooth to prevent friction burns but can be roughened with sandpaper for a better bind.
