Good to know
How much do FMA and HEMA classes cost in the US?
Monthly membership fees typically range from $100 to $180 for standard group classes meeting two to three times per week. Individual drop-in sessions average $20 to $35, while private instruction generally costs $60 to $120 per hour.
What gear do I need for my first FMA or HEMA class?
Beginners need basic athletic clothes, athletic shoes, and a water bottle, as most academies provide loaner rattan sticks, wooden trainers, or synthetic swords. Within 30 to 60 days, students are expected to buy a 350N fencing mask, padded gloves, and personal weapons.
What is the primary difference between FMA and HEMA?
Filipino Martial Arts center on fluid stick-and-blade drills, close-quarters knife tactics, and empty-hand applications derived from Southeast Asian warfare. HEMA focuses on reconstructing European martial systems from 14th–17th century manuscripts, concentrating on weapons like the longsword, rapier, and sidesword.
