The Medieval European Martial Arts Guild was officially founded in March of 2006 by Cory Winslow, John Bax, and Joshua Reptsik. It was the aim of all involved to create a fellowship of dedicated researchers, practitioners and instructors of Historical European Martial Arts who would aid each other in their endeavors and help resurrect these lost arts. Later, Robert Koulakjian and Chuck Wyatt joined the ranks of MEMAG instructors, adding new insight and observations to MEMAG’s interpretations. Together it is our goal to educate our students and the public as much as possible about HEMA, as well as train our students to be efficient and historically accurate Martial Artists that Master Liechtenauer himself would be proud of.

The MEMAG is an historical fencing school that instructs students in the fighting system developed by the 14th century German fencing master, Johannes Liechtenauer. Primary training is based on the use of the longsword, but classes are available in the use of the whole range of Medieval weapons, as well as some Renaissance ones.

All training is based on material found in actual historical manuscripts which are available for students to read, and all equipment is provided for students for use in class.
