What is #HEMA?
3/6

I study the teachings of the XIV century fight master Johannes #Liechtenauer . These are usually called #KunstDesFechtens (#KdF, the «art of combat»).

He composed a poem, called the #Zettel, which describes «with secret and hidden words» techniques and advice on fighting with the two-handed #sword (#longsword), in (#Harnischfechten) and out of armour (#Bloßfechten), and also on #horse (#Roßfechten) with the #spear.

(Yes, that's me, teaching. I'm a #showoff , I know.)

Ok, so all the cool people are doing the #introductions thing, so:

I'm Diniz from #Galiza (that's north of #Portugal and west of #Spain).

I studied #Physics & #ComputerScience but dropped off to pursue a career in #design, which I have been doing since. If you are curious, here's a portfolio: http://sacauntos.com

In my spare time I teach #KunstDesFechtens (that's #HEMA) at «Arte do Combate»: http://artedocombate.gal

I also co-publish #HEMA books at http://ageaeditora.com .
