Veritas Swordplay Academy- HEMA Training in German Longsword and More!

Veritas Swordplay Academy offers instruction in the German medieval martial arts of Master Johannes Liechtenauer. We welcome all those interested in reviving this fascinating and chivalric martial art!

News!
It has been an amazing 15 years, but all good things must come to an end. We'd like to thank all of the hundreds of students we've reached over the years for making it all possible! Farewell!

The primary study track of Veritas Swordplay Academy is the German medieval tradition Kunst des Fechten ("Art of Fighting"), founded in the 14th Century by Master Johannes Liechtenauer. The longsword, the choice weapon of the medieval knight, is the teaching tool of Kunst des Fechten and from it the techniques of the other weapons in the tradition are taught.

Like any martial art, those who choose to join us in our study of medieval European martial arts will find a source of discipline, character development and good exercise. Additionally, the practitioner will discover the joy that comes from resurrecting history and exploring past cultures. This martial art is about bettering ourselves through emulating the chivalry of the medieval knight and reconnecting to a lost heritage.
