ARMS Academy

We have moved, but only slightly! Come find us at the unused netball courts between Eddie Mac's and Victoria Park.

If you want to learn historical fencing, we train every Saturday from 9-11am (unless it rains.)

DM for more info!

It's been way too long since we last posted, so here are some photos from the past few weeks.

If you want to learn and in , join us! DM or comment for more details.

"What gear do I need?"

For historical fencing? Quite a lot. To join ARMS Academy? Just workout clothes, and maybe sunblock.

Training is free, gear is provided, all you need to do is bring an open mind and a fighting spirit.

To start off 2023, let me introduce myself:

My name is Matt, I'm a life-long martial arts practitioner, and I founded ARMS Academy in 2022. I'm a well-equipped enthusiastic nerd.

Despite loving martial arts and swords for most of my life, I don't hold any credentials as a coach or trainer. I'm quite up front about the gaps in my knowledge, and I started ARMS so I could create a local community to learn with.

So if you're looking for recommendations on gear or weapons, want to learn HEMA as a community, or just feel like geeking out over swords, drop a DM or join in for training.

Ps, the dog is Bumble, she joins in sometimes.
