CONDITIONING CLASSES FOR HISTORICAL FENCERS

Coach Liz smiling

Tired of guessing at the gym? 

 

Not getting anywhere trying to workout on your own, but know it would help your fencing?

 

Skip the gym fees and train at home with online sports conditioning classes for fencers. 

 

Suitable for fencers of all historical disciplines (HEMA, SCA, etc) 

Great for modern fencers (foil, epee, saber) too!

How You Train Matters

 

Fencing requires a combination of movement patterns that need to be trained systematically to improve performance and reduce injury risk. Every HEMAFit class helps fencers develop all four domains:


Strength: Strength training builds the foundation for stability and control, allowing fencers to generate force efficiently in lunges, recoveries, and blade interactions. 


Aerobic Conditioning: Historical fencers must both deliver at high intensity in short bursts and also sustain effort over many hours at multiday events.  As a sport with complex demands, training must include a blend of both lower-intensity cardio and high-intensity intervals.


Explosive Power: The ability to accelerate, change direction, and execute powerful lunges, ripostes, and retreats is essential. Training this system includes plyometrics, speed drills, and reaction-based exercises to enhance rapid force production.


Mobility-Stability: Optimal movement requires a balance between mobility (range of motion) and stability (control). Things in this domain include drills for shoulder health, hip flexibility, and core stability to support efficient, injury-free movement.


HEMAFit is specifically designed to address all four domains, giving fencers a well-rounded conditioning routine that translates directly to improved performance in the ring.
