What we’re about

COVID CONSIDERATIONS
Proof of vaccination required to attend. We are still masking at practice.

ABOUT US
Boston Armizare is a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) group researching and practicing Medieval and Renaissance combat according to the teachings of Fiore de'i Liberi and other Italian masters.

Our students are dedicated to the rigorous study and effective practice of Armizare (The Art of Bearing Arms -- an integrated system of longsword, dagger, grappling, and more). We emphasize the martial efficacy and historical accuracy of our techniques and test our interpretations with speed and intent.

WANT TO JOIN?
No experience is necessary -- new students should take our introductory class first; contact our instructors for more information. We're happy to host visiting scholars from other programs!

ALL ARE WELCOME
Boston Armizare is committed to the inclusion and recognition of all scholars regardless of race, age, culture, ability, ethnicity or nationality, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, marital status, religious affiliation, veteran and socioeconomic status. We respect that our membership reflects a variety of perspectives and a wide range of lived experiences. We believe that the affirmation of this diversity is of both intrinsic and instrumental value. Moreover, we believe that making visible diverse contributions leads to richer debates and knowledge in the area of historical fencing and martial arts research and beyond.
