Steel Ring Academy

Steel Ring Academy Is a local HEMA group out of Bradenton, Florida. It was started by a group of people who loved swordplay, and when HEMA started becoming defined in the world community as an organized art it was a perfect fit. It started as a simple gathering of folks with a similar passion, and evolved into a serious study group, and we hope, finally into a full fledged Martial Arts school. We are dedicated to the study and interpretation of manuscripts that exist from the war schools of Medieval Europe and before. From these masterworks, or Fechtbuchs, we pass the knowledge and techniques on to our students. We are affiliated with the Historical Fencing Association, a nation wide group of groups full of people dedicated to the same.
