Edinburgh Renaissance Fencing Academy
Добавлен 11 дек 2014
Edinburgh Renaissance Fencing Academy (ERFA) are a historical fencing/HEMA group based in Edinburgh, Scotland. They research and teach original Renaissance-era swordsmanship based on 16th and 17th century fencing manuals (mostly Italian). The ERFA channel aims to showcase some of their fencing in action as well as to provide links to other historical fencing resources.
