What is a “recognised” HEMA club exactly?

If you are a member of one of the large umbrella groups such as HEMAC or the BHFS then your club would be deemed as “recognised”.

We do understand that not all groups are affiliated with the larger umbrella groups for one reason or another. If your club isn’t, we would like some evidence that you are a “real” club such as a website or insurance document.

If you are still unsure, please contact our Sales Team for further clarification.

What products can I get discount on?

If you have carried out all of the steps above and have been accepted on to our Club Discount scheme then you will be eligible for discount on the HEMA gear here.
