About Ursa Major HEMA Academy
Welcome to Ursa Major HEMA Academy, a premier Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) institution located in Perth, Western Australia. Situated at 7A Kitchener Street, North Beach, our academy is a point of interest for both enthusiasts and those looking to explore the rich world of medieval combat.
At Ursa Major, we are passionate about honing our skills in a range of disciplines, including longsword, messer, dagger, and sword & buckler. As a dedicated HEMA and medieval interest group, we not only train in various weapon systems, but also actively participate in local, national, and international tournaments. Our expertise extends beyond the training grounds, as we proudly perform at public and private events such as medieval fayres, school demonstrations, parties, and more.
Our training sessions are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Stirling Community Centre within the Charles Riley Memorial Reserve in North Beach. On Saturdays, we gather at the 1st Wembley Downs Scout Hall for morning sessions.
Tuesday nights from 6:30pm to 8:30pm are dedicated to dagger, messer, and sword & buckler training. We believe that diversity of skill and adaptability are key to becoming a formidable fighter, which is why we regularly undertake new weapon systems throughout the year. Check out our current roster to see what we teach.
Thursday nights from 6:30pm to 8:30pm are focused on our primary weapon, the longsword. We study the longsword year-round, delving into both advanced and foundational techniques. Our commitment to maintaining a solid foundation ensures that our students are well-rounded fighters. For more information on our longsword syllabus, visit our website.
Due to popular demand, we have introduced Saturday morning sessions from 10am to 11am. These sessions primarily focus on British & Polish sabre and wrestling techniques sourced from Germany. After the classes, our members have the opportunity to use the hall for sparring and tournament/event preparation. Join us at the 1st Wembley Downs Scout Hall for an exhilarating morning of training. Refer to our website for further details.

Reviews of Ursa Major HEMA Academy
"Really informative and safe space that does an hour of sparring and workouts/conditioning before the 1 hour of learning so you get everything. Would recommend."
"A well organised school with knowledgeable and committed trainers. The only really good hema school in Perth. However the environment is very toxic. Few people ever stick around for more than a few years and many accomplished and formerly committed members have quit. Always very warm and welcoming to visitors and new members though. Members will spend over a thousand dollars on equipment, spend a over hundred hours training and practicing, help coach and mentor other members, take leave from work to help fundraising and go there consistently but will quit when in the end they can no longer put up with just how toxic the environment is. A lot of the older members only continue coming because it is the only place to find good sparring partners in perth."
"I’ve been keen to check out HEMA for a while, and I recently had an opportunity to try it out with Ursa Major. Highly knowledgable, friendly, and effective instructors, combined with a supportive and welcoming class community, have convinced me that not only will I enjoy HEMA, but that I’ll also love doing it through UMHA!"
"As someone who's been dojo-hopping around Perth to find a good martial arts school, I find Ursa Major to be the best place I've been to so far. From quality content to the open-mindedness of both the instructors and students, I definitely learn more in the 1.5 years(as of writing) I've been here than any other places I've been to."
"Sword fighting is loads of fun - you should try it. The instructors at UMHA are very knowledgeable and great at distilling information. There are plenty of opportunities to learn with formal classes; practice with sparring; and then test out your skills at tournaments. The social side is very active with lots of welcoming, friendly, like minded people who are largely a good mix of geeks and sporty/active folks."
