About us

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.

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.
