SUMMARY:HEMA Masterclass with Martin Fabian
DESCRIPTION:SEE OUR FACEBOOK PAGE FOR MORE INFO\nIntroducing the next instructor in our Masterclass series\, none other than Martin Fabian!\nBIO\nMartin Fabian has been actively fencing since 2003. He began his journey in a stage combat and reenactment group but\, in 2006\, shifted his focus entirely to studying original works on historical European martial arts (HEMA). He has authored numerous transcriptions\, translations\, articles\, and other notable works on fencing and related subjects. In 2024\, he published the English book Fechtbuch Fabian which compiles his own teaching methods and approaches along with complementary translations of German medieval texts. In 2025 he published a translation and guiding interpretation of the mind-breaking Hans Medel Fechtbuch.\nMartin’s primary interests include the longsword (mainly in the German tradition) and the rapier (Fabris and Giganti). Currently\, he resides in Bratislava\, Slovakia\, where he founded and leads the Bratislava Fencing Society (Bratislavský šermiarsky spolok)\, which boasts 80 active members. He is a long-term international instructor\, former active tournament participant\, and the founder of SIGI Forge\, one of the leading suppliers of HEMA weaponry.
