Wrestling – keep it simple
Wrestling is an art in its own right. But how can we learn it when our twice-weekly training is already focused on the much cooler longsword, messer, or rapier lessons? After all, wrestling plays a major role, especially in the German sources, so having at least a basic understanding would be valuable, right?
Right! Let’s explore what we can realistically achieve with limited training time, how to build a solid foundation in wrestling for HEMA, and how to integrate it effectively into our weekly practice.

Coach
Bert Obernosterer
This is Bert.
Don’t get fooled by his youthful appearance and good looks, for he is one of the longest serving members of Dreynschlag.
He doesn’t fence much these days, but has been competing in grappling and BJJ events ever since 2008. He is supposed to wear black around his waist, but enjoys flamboyant leggings and matching rashguards instead.
Since the midlife crisis is burning bright in him, he still refuses to wrestle among his peers (other old men), but prefers to take on opponents that could easily be his sons (which hopefully they are not – his memories of the early 2000s are already a bit fuzzy and keep fading away in the mist of time).
