ARMA Bryan/College Station

The ARMA was established to promote the study of European fighting arts and arms & armor of the 15^th – 17^th centuries.  We are first and foremost a martial arts association.  The ARMA does not conduct costumed role-playing nor hold tournaments and sporting competitions.  We also do not perform choreographed fighting stunts.  Accurate investigation and interpretation of historical European fighting skills is our primary objective.

 As part of the ARMA we follow and participate in their purpose, which is:

• Study European arms and armor from the point of view of their historical function and use.

• Study historical source litertaure as instructional fighting guides.

• Examine historical European martial culture within a broader historiographic context.

• Study, Interpret, Practice, Promote, and Teach the martial arts of Renaissance Europe.

We also stand by the ARMA Credo:
