The Schola Gladiatoria

The Schola Gladiatoria is a school dedicated to teaching historical European martial arts, focusing on techniques used by sword fencers, knights, and soldiers from the medieval and Renaissance periods. They study and practice combat skills depicted in historical manuscripts, training in various weapons such as longswords, sabres, and polearms. Their work involves understanding historical context, reconstructing authentic fighting methods, and applying them safely through controlled practice. By doing so, they preserve and promote the martial traditions of Europe, providing insight into the combat techniques, weaponry, and fighting philosophy of those eras.
