Learn to Sword Fight!
Welcome to the Lake Forest Sword Academy!
Home of the Reaving Rabbits
We are a fun, active, supportive group that focuses on learning real combat techniques from Historical European Martial Arts, or HEMA for short!
Whether you want to sharpen skills you've developed from other martial arts, explore the rich history of the medieval period through firsthand experience, or are just looking for your next exciting workout, we have something for everyone!

At our club, you’ll find more than just sword fighting — you’ll find a welcoming community of people who love learning, exercise, and having fun together. Whether you’re brand new sword fighter or a seasoned HEMA veteran, we offer a wide variety of activities including sparring, cutting parties, large-scale battles, weapon workshops, tournaments, social events, and more! There’s always something new to try and a place for everyone on the field.
