About us

We are a historical European martial arts (HEMA) club based in Vienna’s 10th district, with a focus on longsword and sabre.

Our primary focus is tournament fencing at a competitive level. Our members regularly achieve strong results at both national and international events. Through our active participation in tournaments, workshops, and seminars, we are well connected within the HEMA community across Austria and beyond. In addition to regular training, we host our own tournaments, provide experienced referees, and contribute to various fencing events with seminars and educational programs. If you're looking to train historical fencing with the longsword or sabre in Vienna at a high sporting level, our club in the 10th district is the right place for you.

Anfänger:innen Kurs

Willst du auch HEMA lernen

Ab 11. Februar 2026 starten wir ein neues Anfänger:innen Training für Langschwert! Jeden Mittwoch hast du die Möglichkeit, die Kunst des historischen Langschwertfechtens von einem österreichischen Meister persönlich zu erlernen.
In diesem Kurs vermitteln wir dir die Grundlagen von HEMA – von sicherer Beinarbeit über grundlegende Hiebe und Paraden bis hin zu ersten Partnerübungen und kontrolliertem Sparring. Dabei legen wir großen Wert auf eine sichere, motivierende Lernumgebung und eine solide technische Basis.

Egal ob du komplette:r Neueinsteiger:in bist oder bereits erste Erfahrungen mitbringst – unser Anfänger:innen-Training bietet dir den idealen Einstieg ins Langschwertfechten in Wien.

Werte

boschen

We see sparring and free fencing as essential parts of historical martial arts. They help us apply techniques under pressure, learn timing and distance, and develop as fighters. In our club, sparring is a space for growth – intense, respectful, and always with a focus on learning together.

respect

Respect is the foundation of everything we do. In training, in sparring, and in competition, we meet each other with fairness and appreciation – regardless of skill level, experience, or background. Respect creates trust and allows everyone to grow safely in their fencing journey.

performance

We value performance – not as perfection, but as progress. Our training supports everyone who wants to grow beyond themselves, push their limits, and work towards personal and competitive goals. Whether on the tournament floor or in regular classes: we show up with focus, passion, and determination.

Our achievements

Our fighters regularly compete in national and international HEMA tournaments – and with great success. No matter which weapon category or outside of tournaments - our members have earned medals, podium placements, and recognition across Europe. We’re proud of the commitment, focus, and progress behind every result.
