Why Vier Blössen?
Improving Fitness
Fighting with weapons at any intensity is not exactly light work. Some of the more complex techniques can target muscle groups missed by more standard workout routines.

Train at Your Own Pace
VBHF does not require contracts and our classes are affordable and flexible. Members will never be expected to or discouraged from attending events outside of regular practice and will not be pestered to attend class if they aren't feeling up to it.
|
History
HEMA is just as much an academic pursuit as it is a physical one. Interested members can spend countless hours pouring over the dozens of historical manuscripts to learn not only fighting styles and techniques, but also about the historical context they were written in.
