Prove it with iron

Living Meyer Historical Fencing Schools

Our website is currently under construction. Pardon our mess!

Under the guidance of 16th century fencing master Joachim Meyer, our organization seeks to train and fence as historically as possible.

Meyer sharpens Meyer

An offshoot of the Meyer Freifechter Guild, Living Meyer acts as the evaluative and experimental arm of the Guild.

Promoting historical training and competition

Our blossfechten experiments seek to use our martial art acording to Joachim Meyer to recreate the 16th century combat sport, the fechtschule.
