Arming swords for HEMA

Arming swords

The arming sword, an iconic weapon of the medieval fighter, embodies the evolution of close combat techniques from the Middle Ages. Generally ranging from 60 to 90 cm, this versatile weapon was used both on the battlefield and in civil duels.

Appearing from the early Middle Ages, the arming sword reached its peak between the 12th and 15th centuries. Its shape subtly evolved over time, gradually refining to result in the more slender forms of the late Middle Ages. This transition heralds the future emergence of the rapier in the Renaissance.

In the context of HEMA, the study of the arming sword offers a fascinating insight into medieval combat techniques. Historical treatises, like the famous I.33 manuscript, attest to the technical richness associated with this weapon, often used in combination with a shield or dagger. The practice of the arming sword in HEMA allows for the exploration of a wide range of techniques, combining powerful cuts and precise thrusts, while working on mobility and close combat.
