ProfAlma · Answer

Historical European martial arts (HEMA) refers to martial arts originating in Europe, where this martial art has been practiced since ancient times, then changed and developed into different forms. Although documentation of martial arts in the Classical Era still exists (such as Ancient Greek Wrestling or Gladiator combat), specialized technical treatises or combat manuals in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period also survive. For this reason, HEMA's de facto focus is on the half-millennium period circa 1300 to 1800, with schools in Germany and Italy growing up in the Middle Ages and Renaissance (14th to 16th centuries), which were then followed by the original fencing schools. Spain, France, England and Scotland in modern times (17th and 18th centuries). 19th-century martial arts such as classical fencing, and early mixed styles such as Bartitsu are also included in the term HEMA in a broader sense, as is the traditional style or folkloristic style attested to in the 19th and early 20th centuries; including folk forms of wrestling and traditional stick martial arts methods. The term Western Martial Arts (WMA) is sometimes used in the United States in a broader sense, including both modern and traditional disciplines. During the Middle Ages, the long sword was highly respected among these disciplines, sometimes being given the term historical European swordsmanship (HES) in reference to specific swordsmanship techniques. The modern reconstruction of this art emerged from the 1890s and has been systematically practiced since the 1990s. During the mid-20th century, a small number of professional combat officers for theatre, film and television - notably Arthur Wise and William Hobbs, both of whom were from England - studied historical combat treatises for inspiration in fight choreography. In the 1980s and 1990s, Patri J. Pugliese began making photocopies of historical treatises available to interested parties, which spurred further research. In 1994 there was the revival of the Hammerterz Forum, a publication devoted entirely to the history of swordsmanship. During the late 1990s, translations and interpretations of historical sources began to appear in print and online. Learn more at https://brainly.ph/question/3364152#SPJ2
