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.

How to drain fluid from ear?
Draining fluid from an ear—often caused by trauma such as cauliflower ear in grappling—requires sterile medical aspiration using a syringe followed by a compression wrap. Performing this procedure at home without medical expertise carries a severe risk of infection and permanent cartilage deformity. Practicing martial artists in Utah should consult qualified medical professionals or ask coaches at one of the 6 listed local academies for proper sports health protocols.
