Good to know

How much do HEMA and Filipino Martial Arts classes cost?

Monthly membership dues in the US typically range between $100 and $180 for unlimited or bi-weekly group training. Introductory packages usually cost $50 to $100 for a 2- to 4-week trial that includes loaner sticks or synthetic swords.

Do I need to buy my own weapons and armor before joining?

No, beginners can use academy loaner gear for the first month of training. As you progress into partner sparring, you will need to purchase personal gear costing between $200 and $600, depending on whether you choose synthetic weapons or steel-rated protective suits.

Are these weapon-based programs suitable for complete beginners?

Yes, foundational courses focus on basic footwork, body mechanics, distance management, and weapon safety before introducing contact drills. Free sparring is optional and restricted to students who have acquired proper safety gear and passed basic skills assessments.
