Welcome to Ense et Mente


Ense et Mente - With Sword and Mind - is my personal website for sharing research into Historical European Martial Arts, or HEMA.

Most research presented through this website will be focused on the study of martial arts in the Netherlands and Germany in the 17th century. Please feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about bookings, my research, or anything else related to HEMA, contact me!
