Shields for HEMA

Shields

Shields hold a central place in the history of European martial arts, having been used for centuries as tools of defense and attack. From antiquity to the late Middle Ages, these protections evolved in shape and usage technique, reflecting changes in the art of war.

In the modern practice of HEMA, a variety of historical shields are found, each with its specifics: the large Norman shield, the Viking round shield, the small medieval buckler, or the Hussite pavise. Our training shields are designed to provide an authentic experience while ensuring the safety of practitioners.

Made with modern, durable materials, they combine durability and lightness, allowing optimal maneuverability during exercises and fights. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, our shields will allow you to deeply explore historical combat techniques, while benefiting from reliable and high-performance equipment.
