Actual pic of the club hitting up after Saturday practice. Located in the heart of Brighton MA, Pizza Project brings wood fire pizzas right to you.

Our Story
Boston Armizare is a historical fencing and historical European martial arts (HEMA) club dedicated to the research, reconstruction, and practice of Late Medieval and Renaissance fencing and combat through the study and interpretation of historical fencing treatises. We also seek to promote the wider appreciation and practice of HEMA and historical fencing by offering public demonstrations, exhibitions and instructional classes.
Our primary focus is the rigorous study and effective practice of Armizare, "The Art of Bearing Arms”, an integrated system of fencing, dagger, grappling, spear and poleaxe laid down by late 14th century Italian sword master, mercenary and knight Fiore dei Liberi, in his manuscript Fior di Battaglia ("the Flower of Battle").
Our scholars also research and practice the fencing and martial arts of other primarily, but not exclusively, Italian masters such as Philippo di Vadi, Pietro Monti, Giacomo di Grassi, Antonio Manciolino, Achille Marozzo, Nicoletto Giganti and Salvator Fabris.
We emphasize the martial efficacy and historical accuracy of our techniques and test our interpretations with speed and intent though drilling, free play and sparring.
