Elgin Broadsword Society are a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) club based in Elgin, Moray and are the only HEMA group in Moray. We primarily study the use of the Scottish broadsword and British military saber from the 18th Century however we do practise other disciplines such as sword and shield, longsword and duel swords on occasion.
We are an open and inclusive group welcoming to those from all backgrounds and all levels of experience.
HEMA is a fantastic sport for exercise, especially for those who hate conventional forms of exercise like gyms or running! HEMA is a great cardo workout, strength workout and mobility workout. Expect to go home from a session dripping with sweat especially in summer!
HEMA is also a great activity for making new friends and learning some history all while getting to hit people with swords!
