INFORMATION ABOUT THE ACADEMY OF ARMS

General Info

The Academy of Arms Los Angeles is a non-profit school dedicated to the study and practice of the historical european martial arts (HEMA). Our Instructors teach a curriculum drawn directly from historical texts written primarily in the 14th-16th centuries. The Academy provides an indoor studio where the greater Los Angeles community can pursue these historic studies. Our goal is to revive these lost arts by increasing awareness and inspiring a passion for this rich period of history.
