Boston Armizare

Boston Armizare Boston Armizare is a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) group. We're happy to host visiting scholars from other programs!

Boston Armizare is a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) group researching and practicing Medieval and Renaissance combat according to the teachings of Fiore de'i Liberi and other Italian masters. Our students are dedicated to the rigorous study and effective practice of Armizare (The Art of Bearing Arms -- an integrated system of longsword, dagger, grappling, and more). We emphasize the marti

al efficacy and historical accuracy of our techniques and test our interpretations with speed and intent. No experience is necessary -- new students should take our introductory class first; contact our instructors for more information.

Boar’s Tooth 2026 will be held at the same location as last year, the Shady Hill School in Cambridge.

This year we have increased the cap for tier B longsword to 90 participants! The cap between A tier and B tier will be a HEMA rating of ~1450-1500 to be in alignment with other events. Final placement of competitors will be up to the discretion of the participant and organizers.

In addition, all participants will have at least two rounds of pools in all events!

This year we also have swag bags with an assortment of Boar’s Tooth-themed items! Swag bags are included with a full weekend ticket and can be added to single day tickets for 20$.

Full refunds are available up until July 31st. Refund requests after that will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

If any changes to your registration are needed, reach out to Boston Armizare at [email protected] or through the event discord!

We hope to see you all with us in August!
