The St. Paul Freifechter are a Historical Martial Arts organization dedicated to the in-depth study and safe practice of Historical Martial Arts for both Sport (Fencing) and Martial (Combat) applications, including the historical and social contexts for their usage.

We offer a variety of classes, workshops, study groups, and special presentations that range from a foundational basics to advanced study.

We believe that History and its skills and knowledge, should be open to all. As such, our goals are to foster a sense of greater community, and create and maintain an environment where all who wish to study and practice can do so in a constructive, safe, and supportive environment. This environment is one where the input, participation and presence of each and *every* person is not only desired, but actively valued, regardless of ethnicity, ancestry, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
