Schola Gladiatoria is an historical European martial arts group based in West London, Great Britain, founded and led by Matt Easton (click to find out more about Matt).
Historical European martial arts, HEMA, also known as WMA (western martial arts) are the study and practice of Europe's indigenous historical fighting systems. Some of these have living traditions, whilst most have died as lineages (many people are surprised to learn that Europe had and has complex martial arts systems), and so we must use the various detailed historical combat treatises, and our experience and experimentation as martial artists, to breath life back into them. Many of us have previous martial arts experience (Asian and European), and through years of working with the historical European 'manuals' written and illustrated by ancient combat masters, and pressure-testing our interpretations of them, under various conditions with accurate copies of the equipment they used, we hope to be able to approximate an understanding of the fighting systems taught in Europe in bygone periods.
