Kolja Klein – president

I’m fencing historical martial arts since 2004 and is trainer at gladius et codex since 2012. My fascination of historical martial arts roots in the complexity of the system, the variety of weapons and contexts of use. I love to discover and test the principles of fighting in all aspects like body mechanics, psychology, techniques and their evolution. Even, or because of I’m not a historian, I love to get in a practical discourse and exploration of possible interpretation and their places in the overall system of fighting what we call HEMA.

HEMA is my passion, so I always worked towards its promotion and tried to pave the way for HEMA opportunities and its recognition as a sport and martial art.
