Shenandoah Historical Fencing is a Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) group based in Winchester, Virginia, dedicated to the practice and preservation of medieval martial traditions, specifically the Kunst des Fechtens (KDF) developed by Johannes Liechtenauer in the 1400s. Their training includes a mix of technical instruction, drills, and controlled sparring, catering to both beginners and experienced practitioners in a supportive environment.
The organization emphasizes the importance of historical exploration and skill-building, offering resources such as instructional guides and trusted suppliers for essential equipment. Participants aged 16 and older can benefit from loaner gear, making it easier for newcomers to embark on their journey into medieval fencing.
