About

Suomen Historiallisen Miekkailun Seura ry, SHMS for short, is a historical fencing association, founded in 2003.
Our Salle lies in Helsinki Jakomäki.
Our devotion is to uphold the historical aspect of Historical European Martials arts (HEMA for short).
Our standard classes run five nights a week and they range from instructed classes to free fencing.

Under our tutelage, one can learn the elegant weapon style of a renaissance also known as The Rapier, study the origins of the western arsenal with The Sword and Buckler, or train with the King of weapons otherwise known as the Longsword. We also offer to study with us the straightforward and effective sabre of yesteryear’s armies.

Counters against cuts in rapier class. First plate 10 from Capoferro's Gran Simulacro ans then plate 27 from Salvator Fabris' first book. Both are counters against a cut of roverscio (backhand). #shms #hema #historicalfencing #historiallinenmiekkailu #helsinki #miekkailu #fencing #miekka #spada #rapier #capoferro #salvatorfabris

Rapier beginners course is through, last lesson was on sword & dagger or other parrying devices in the off-hand, such as the cape. The students got to play with it in the end, and everyone was filled with joy and happiness!

Usually we use grapples to gain control of our opponent's weapon, but sometimes it's good to just give someone a cuddle!

Fiore loves close play and abrazare!

The text says: Your sword and your arm are nicely trapped and you can't get away without me striking you like this, because you have shown so little knowledge of this play (transl. Tom Leoni)

Capoferro's plate 8 from his treatise Gran Simulacro in rapier class: Measure is lost greatly in attacking the legs. If someone attacks you by cutting to the leg, slip back the front leg and deliver a thrust in the face or a roverscio to the sword arm.

Best bits from regulated freeplay in Monday night class. Well, one bit, because the other great bits didn't end on film! Good work from all fencers present.

Masters of different schools meet on Suomenlinna sports field for play and send a decree for their students to do likewise.

Friday Knight Fight Club is Saturday Squire Fight Club on Saturday 19th, 12pm till 2pm. We meet at Suomenlinna sports field, provided it rains, hails or snows not. Snow on the ground does not count!

Perjantai-illan miekkaklubi Friday Knight Fight Club järjestetään tällä kertaa lauantaina 19.10. nimellä Saturday Squire Fight Club. Tapahtumapaikkana Suomenlinnan urheilukenttä, klo 12-14. Emme miekkaile, jos sataa vettä, rakeita tai lunta, mutta maassa seisovaa lunta ei lasketa!

Mestarit ovat leikkineet edeltä ja lähettävät käskyn oppilaidensa tehdä samoin!

Basic level class in Fiore's Armizare: the exchange of thrust or scambiar de punta. You can do it by stepping to the left of the line, or across the line to the right. Both hands high and point high and hands low point high will work, but the book says to keep hands low and point high, as depicted.
