  Informative, supportive, and to-the-point. There's a lot of friendliness and genuine passion in this place from everybody, not just the instructors. There's also a surprisingly wide variety of members from all age groups and genders.
  AEMMA feels like a diverse group of volunteer researchers working together to rediscover the lost arts through primary sources and experimentation. I use the word "volunteer' because it seems that genuine questioning and insights are more important to AEMMA than authority and tradition alone. It's made clear to beginners early on during training that the curriculum is merely the current "consensus" that can be and must be continuously scrutinized in the name of rediscovery. However, don't mistake this as a chaotic mess. You'll quickly realize that things make it to the curriculum usually because they're quite simple and effective. Even the moves that seem awkward to you (and perhaps EVERYBODY else) may one day suddenly make sense to you as a result of your own struggles or a fellow member making a breakthrough discovery in its application and sharing with everybody.
  The mentality of this place is similar to that of a university research institute. Think House of Knowledge from the Islamic Golden Age as opposed to the bureaucracy of modern universities or the rigidity of traditional dojo's. There's also still plenty of room for old-fashioned combat and getting Medieval on each other (isn't that why most of us first come here?). There's something for everybody.
  I would give AEMMA a 5/5 but the location has little available parking and is difficult to reach in rush hour.

  Trained here for a number of years and found it great. I started as a rank beginner and left much fitter, more confident, better educated and having had a lot of fun. The premises are clean, spacious and well lit. The instructors were knowledgable and very safety conscious. The quality of the equipment was very good. Would recommend to any one interested in medieval history, swordplay or western martial arts at all.

  AEMMA folks are very welcoming to people curious about the 14th century medieval martial arts, willing to take time to explain the basic footwork and body mechanics involved in wrestling, dagger and sword play. Classes are structured to teach basics to new recruits and to challenge advanced students with sparring opportunities and cross club events to test yourself. Come on out and see what they are about!
