Our works spans multiple areas of Historical Fencing. As well as our main in-flight projects below, we have several other projects still being developed.
Safety Tips
A world first – our flagship “Safety Tips” project set out to measure how different methods of tipping swords affect safety risks in HEMA
“On the Art of Swordfighting”
This new translation uses high-quality scans, plain English and careful cross-referencing to create a clear and accessible version of this important work
Tournament Sword Research
Collecting data on swords used across a range of tournaments, this project seeks to create a resource to aid tournament organisers in making decisions

We have other projects in the pipeline that are still under development. Some examples include:
- “Sword Checks” – Guidance on how to check swords for tournaments
