Welcome to Cry Havoc HEMA, here you will find videos related to HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts), historical arms and armor, and military history. The aim is to provide educational entertainment, debunk common misconceptions, and provide weapon reviews/buyers advice. HEMA is a broad subject, and a variety of topics will be discussed over time; however, the focus will be on treatises which cover the spadone and montante, and the English longsword manuscripts.
These treatises have been chosen because of their relevance to another goal of this channel, which is to promote physical fitness through the use of solo forms. A one hour workout utilizing the forms contained in these manuscripts will burn between 300 and 500 calories and combines aerobic and anaerobic benefits. It is an excellent supplement to any existing workout routine. I don't claim to be an expert or anything, merely a student of the Art of Arms; I would humbly learn what I could.
