Rocket City HEMA is Huntsville's first school for the study of historical european martial arts. We practice techniques found in Medieval and Renaissance-era fencing manuals and apply them in a modern context.

The HEMA movement seeks to recreate these arts through the study of manuals and treatises written in the times when these arts were still in active use.
