Hard-working raiders looking for joy and sweat
Thổ phỉ Mè Đen
Active HEMA/WMA Club located in Ho Chi Minh city, faraway from city center. We have facilities to conduct safe weapon (simulation, of course) sparring.
Mè Đen - or Black Sesame, is the name of a cat that we own! "Seriously? But why raiders?" you may ask. Look, do you see any nobles? Sometimes we dress like knights, but the truth is, everyone’s more likely a barbarian, playing sword-fighting games. We practice Liechtenauer, Meyer, Fiore, Bolognese, Destreza, etc and every day is sparring day (woo hoo!). We believe in "Aliveness" and with the help of technology, everyone can achieve 'the true art' of swordsmanship. (We can legally beat up each other with swords now!)
We make our own swords, equipment, and gears. But the most exciting part is: WE SELL THEM TOO!
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs

When you arrive, expect to see some of these creatures. They're friendly, so treat them nice.

Joe
Giant powerhouse. Look nice in a skirt
"I eat guard for breakfast"
Looks like a HEMA club
Anyone can join the Lair, from the unemployed street fighter to the sophisticated business owner. We mainly practice during office hours or on Friday nights. Swinging swords into the air, doing some drills, suiting up, and quacking each other with weapons—what on earth could be happier?
We teach you how to fight with swords. If you know better, teach us!
Sourcing HEMA gears and weapons
As a materialist, I must have something to play with. In Vietnam, buying "toys" like these is nearly impossible, so we produce them ourselves! Sometimes we grab some good stuff from China—convenient!
You can buy HEMA swords, HEMA protective gear, archery equipments, and medieval-inspired fancy dresses from our store.
