About Us

IRONWOOD HISTORICAL SWORDSMANSHIP
CLUB IN TUCSON, ARIZONA

We are Tucson’s premier Historic European Martial Arts (HEMA) club. Founded in 2019, we study and train documented European weapon fighting, from the 13th to the 20th century. Our club focuses on promoting historically accurate techniques and martially sound fighting with the goal to apply those concepts in sparring, and ultimately, in a tournament setting. We offer a variety of weapons and historical techniques to train with for our fighters. Despite practicing for competitions, beginners are always welcome, and we train at a comfortable pace.
