Welcome to HROARR

Resources for the Historical European Martial Arts and Sports Community

The HROARR site focuses on different aspects of Historical European Martial Arts. It is meant to serve both as a help to active HEMA practitioners and as a source of inspiration for people that are unfamiliar with this form of Martial Arts. At its core the HROARR site is a free online HEMA magazine with contributions from the whole community. It is also a neutral meeting ground where we can all connect, share and learn from each other using the tools provided by the site.

“An absolute treasure trove for casual and serious medievalists”

"Half a million readers puts HROARR in a very unique position"

Help support HROARR!

Did  you know that you can now help support HROARR by throwing in a dollar or two at its Patreon page?

Running a large knowledge hub and community site like HROARR unfortunately involves both a lot of costs in cash and time, paying for server, software, security and maintenance. For this reason, a Patreon page has been set up, so you, our dear visitor, can help out.

It is of course entirely voluntary, and HROARR will never have content locked up behind a pay wall, but the better HROARR's finances are, the better content you will have, and the more frequently it will be updated with content and features. Hopefully, one day, the site will have a full time editor to manage it.

    • Degrees of Freedom
      A degree of freedom is the number of directions in which something is free to move. You may be thinking of the three directions, but in this case you would be thinking wrong. The maximum number of degrees of freedom of a rigid body is six. The post Degrees of ...

    • Historic Knightly Physical Training
      Why Historical Training Matters When I first started HEMA Strong, one of my dream ideas/projects was to run a seminar or event based on historical training methods because about once a month someone in the group (link) asks: “How do we set up our physical training like that of a ...

Concerning the Reliability of the Waggle Test

Concerning the Reliability of the Waggle Test

Dynamic parameters define a rigid body’s reaction to external forces. While their importance for a sword’s behaviour is known since the 19th century, many data sets of original swords, replicas and training weapons include mass and the centre of mass, but lack a third parameter such as moment of inertia, radius of gyration, or corresponding centres of oscillation/percussion. A third parameter, however, is required to calculate a rigid object’s response.

Fighting Successfully – Bridging The Gap Between Technique And Free Play

Fighting Successfully – Bridging The Gap Between Technique And Free Play

by | Feb 17, 2017 | |

Did you ever face the situation that you trained a technique over and over, again and again and it just straight out refuses to come out during free play? Then you know the frustration if expectations and results don’t match.

Failing time and time again, because you can’t pull of what you should be able to doesn’t feel nice. It can be devastating and lead the most dedicated of us down a path of frustration. It can be a reason why people quit HEMA altogether.

The Recital of the Chivalric Art of Fencing of the Grand Master Johannes Liechtenauer

by | Aug 11, 2016 | , , , , |

Though long delayed, this book represents the most complete picture possible of the Liechtenauer tradition of foot combat as it was recorded in the mid 15th century. It’s the text I wanted for my students when I was leading a study group, and I’m happy to finally offer it in print. I hope it serves in some small way to advance the study of Johannes Liechtenauer’s art.
