Greetings to you, fellow traveller of the golden path.

My name is Josh and this channel, Atreides HEMA, is mine.

A HEMA instructor and practitioner. At present I stand as rank 481 in Longsword on HEMA ratings, 14th in the UK of all active fighters after my first tournament where I won the gold medal in pool B of the long sword category of the Wessex League.

In addition to over two years experience of HEMA I have over a decade of experience in various forms of armed historical combat. I have led a dark age re-enactment group, stage combat/stunt team and have taught many students the skills needed to be an effective fighter. Now I spend my free time teaching, training and studying HEMA.

I set up this channel as a way of show casing and analysing the videos I take while training. I hope to create a place to discuss skills, demonstrate techniques and ultimately help myself and others improve their HEMA skills.

Long live the fighters!
