Dreynschlag

Welcome to Dreynschlag’s channel!

We’ve been training and teaching Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) since 1998 in our club  in Vienna. Our training is focused on the so-called Liechtenauer tradition based on treatises of the late middle ages and early renaissance. We practice with various weapons like sword, dagger, polearms etc, as well as wrestling.

In order to help sword fighting beginners get started, we’ve launched a tutorial on fencing with the longsword. These videos are intended for absolute beginners as well as for people who are generally interested in historical combat, but aren’t able to attend a HEMA-class nearby.

Each february some of the best international HEMA-instructors meet at Dreynevent. We share some of their lessons as well as the tournament finals with you in our channel.

Another type of content you will find here is stage combat. This has nothing to do with HEMA. In stage combat our only goal is to entertain the audience.
