Zwaardkring Malaysia De Zwaardkring Academy teaches and promotes the Historical European Martial Arts in Malaysia

This is the page created for the association of people known as De Zwaardkring Malaysia, dedicated to the revival of the Historical European Martial Arts (or HEMA) in Malaysia. The Historical European Martial Arts is a long and proud tradition and combat style based on how knights and soldiers fought in medieval Europe. This martial arts consists of several disciplines, including sword fighting, spear/polearm fighting, sword and shield, axe fighting, dagger combat, unarmed combat and wrestling/grappling. The arts have long been neglected in Europe, since the early 19th century, with the introduction of guns as the main weapon in warfare, leaving swords for officers only. However, with the release of ancient fighting manuscripts written by masters swordsmen, the arts have been revived in the late 20th century and is starting to thrive in Europe and North-America once again. My name is Sacha Dijkshoorn and I have practiced these martial arts for over 16 years now. Having migrated to Malaysia, it is my dream to see the arts thrive here as well, hoping to offer an 'exotic' western alternative to the well-established Asian Martial Arts, like Kendo, Aikido and Iaido. De Zwaardkring is an informal association for those who want to learn more about the ancient western martial arts and everyone is welcome.
