HEMA WOLF CHALLENGE – 2nd Trimester 2018 Trial
2
Presentation HEMA WOLF CHALLENGE is an original sportive and cultural challenge. It aims to promote
the diversity of the Historical Europeans Martial Arts.
Each trials will initiate the challengers to differentes disciplines and sources (exemple :
longsword of LICHETENAUER and dagger of FIORI DE LIBERI) in a context which involves
time, effort, rhythm and precision .
Participants will:
❖ Discover and learn about new disciplines and/or sources;
❖ Measure their ability to assimilate techniques;
❖ Evaluate their practice out of their comfort zone;
❖ Compare their evolution through their scores in the next events 😉
The trials were designed to let all participants practice technics and practices from historical
sources, combined with sport exercises.
ONE CHALLENGE, TWO PARTICULARITIES
First particularity
Each participant has got only one opponent : himself !
It will not be about confronting someone with a source or technique that you are barely
discovering. It will be about practicing HEMA.
You will be evaluated on your ability to practice, the quality of your gesture and mastery of
it. As well as on your exercise skills.
Second particularity
Participants can do the trials where they want !
No need to travel to participate and perform the tests. They are accessible to all and
feasible everywhere. All you need to do is give us the results.
Difficulty In case of impossibility on an exercise (due to a handicap or an injury), the participants are
free to adapt it to their convenience.

Participation Everyone can take part in the HEMA WOLF CHALLENGE’s trials.
You will need to send us your score in order for us to rank the challengers; see below.
Evaluations
You can be evaluated through:
❖ The evaluation form available at the end of this document;
❖ A video of the trial.
Form evaluation
Each participant is evaluated by his peers during the trial. To facilitate it, a scorecard is
available for printing at the end of this document.
The results will however have to be reported online to be taken into account for the
ranking.
Video evaluation
Since it is sometimes difficult to consider yourself competent to evaluate a technique on a
discipline that you do not necessarily know, it is possible to make a video evaluation.
Those who wish can send us a video of their trial by email at the following address :
[email protected]. We will then evaluate them.
You can share your video to someone you consider able to evaluate your trial, who will then
report your evaluation on the scorecard.
Please note that your video must permit to evaluate your trial without difficulty.
Ranking The ranking of the trial will be announced at the beginning of July 2018.
The participants have from April 1st, 2018 to June 30th, 2018 to perform this trial if they
want their evaluation to be taken into account for the ranking.
Like all HEMA WOLF CHALLENGE trials, it is possible to complete the event after the period
originally scheduled. Participants who submit their assessment after June 30, 2017 will
receive their score, but this score will not be ranked.

Then, in a synchronized manner, the team members must perform each of the exercises
described below 2 times in a row while keeping their arm extended at shoulder height :
❖ Lower the tip of the sword forwards in the extension of the arm. Then straighten the
tip upwards ;
❖ Lower the tip of the sword to the right so that the blade is level with the arm. Then
straighten the tip upwards ;
❖ Lower the tip of the sword to the left so that the blade is level with the arm. Then
straighten the tip upwards ;

Once this series of exercises performed with the right arm, participants must perform it with
the left arm.
2 – Exercise Of Iron Feeling

areas : left shoulder, right shoulder, left flank, right flank.
Then the participants bind their swords. The blades should stay in contact for the duration

4 – Exercise Of Wooden Feeling
We do not have a precise size for the stick that should be used as part of Paulus Hector
Mair's source. However, we consider, based on the illustrations and our practice, that the
size of the stick must be from the feet to a point between the forehead and the chin of its
user.
Each of the two team members must designate a part of themselves from the following
areas: left shoulder, right shoulder, left flank, right flank.
Then the participants tie their sticks. They will have to stay in touch for the duration of the
exercise.
Without any haste, speed nor strength, both team members must each turn to threaten the
tip or size of their stick with the body part that their teammate has designated before the
exercise begins.
While one of the team members is trying to pose his threat, the other one is not moving.
The exercise is finished when each member has made 10 threats.
Participants must designate a new part of themselves in each round of the event.
5 – Perform a technique of Paulus Hector Mair Source : Stick – Paulus Hector Mair
Participants must each perform a technique from those proposed below.
These different techniques require an appreciation of feeling one's adversary as being
"stronger", "weaker" or "equivalent strength" in his moves. Participants must take these
