Crossing Fight School

Welcome to the Crossing Fight School. We are based in Southampton Township, NJ and devoted to the study of Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), with a particular focus on German Longsword. Alongside sword-fighting we regularly teach Bartitsu.

Our curriculum is based on the teachings of Grandmaster Johannes Lichtenauer, whose fighting system dates back to the 15th century, and whose material formed the basis for many masters that followed. At our school, the material we learn and use is derived from both Lichtenauer’s own system and those of later masters
