We are a study group
comprised of Members of the Association for Renaissance
Martial Arts, located in the Quad Cities.
The ARMA is an educational non-profit organization dedicated to the study and practice of historical fencing and the exploration and promotion of our Western martial heritage. We focus on the interpretation and legitimate reconstruction of Medieval and Renaissance combat systems as a modern discipline. The ARMA endeavors to approximate historical fighting skills through a curriculum of reconstructed techniques, principles, and methods for using a variety of swords, spears, shields, staff weapons, daggers, and unarmed grappling and wrestling skills as taught in period books and manuscripts. For more about our study methods, please visit this link. The Quad Cities are the joined cities of Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, and Moline, located at the bend of the Mississippi River between Iowa and Illinois. Open practice is held every Saturday at 9:30 A.M. weather permitting. If you would like to participate, please wear a plain white shirt, and black pants. An athletic cup is recommended for males. Practices are currently being held in Davenport, at Vanderveer Park. Alternate locations may be used from time to time, please contact the group for more information.
