VHCA, the Victorian Historical Combat Academy, is the only HEMA club in Bayside Melbourne and focuses on teaching and practicing 19th-century Italian military sabre fencing.
Italian military sabre fencing is one of the pre-eminent sword martial art systems upon which modern fencing is based. It is the style based on Milan based Giuseppe Radaelli and formally adopted for Officer and Cavalry training while also being used extensively and very successfully for duelling and sporting purposes.
It is an enjoyable way to learn about sword fighting and history, while also improving fitness and having the opportunity to meet new people in a supportive and very friendly environment. The culture of the club is intentionally open, friendly and collaborative as we all lean together.
The club has trained professional actors and an article about us in the Herald Sun newspaper can be found here.
New members are always welcome, and it is easy and free to try – training is now on Monday nights at Packer Park Pavillion, Carnegie.
