Ursa Major HEMA Academy

sword and buckler fighting

Ursa Major is a HEMA / Historical Fencing and medieval interest group based in Perth, Western Australia. We train to hone our skills in a range of disciplines, including longsword, messer, dagger, and sword & buckler. In addition to training in a variety of weapon systems, and hosting and competing in local, national, & international tournaments - we also perform at public & private events, including medieval fayres, school demonstrations, parties, and more.

We train Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Stirling Community Centre located within the Charles Riley Memorial Reserve in North Beach - and Saturday mornings at the 1st Wembley Downs Scout Hall.

People fighting with longswordsTuesday nights, 6.30pm-8.30pm - dagger, messer, sword & buckler
Diversity of skill and adaptability are key to becoming a formidable fighter. To this end we undertake a new weapon system at different intervals throughout the year. Check out what we teach to see our current roster.

Thursday nights, 6.30pm-8.30pm - longsword
As longsword is our primary weapon, we study this year round. While we regularly deep-dive into some of the more advanced or particular techniques, we frequently come back to the basics in order to maintain a solid foundation. Check out what we teach for more information on our longsword syllabus.

Saturday mornings, 10am-11am - sabre and wrestling
Our Saturday morning sessions focus on British sabre, Polish sabre, and wrestling – primarily from German sources. After these classes, members can use the hall for sparring and tournament/event prep. These sessions are held at the 1st Wembley Downs Scout Hall - check out what we teach for more information.
