About Us
The group of historical fencing Rotyka (which means literally “high jinks”) was founded in 1999. Now it has 13 members who mostly come from the group of historical fencing LA-MA (it was founded in 1992 and now doesn’t exists). We are interested in history from the 1st to 19th century, mostly in late gothic period and the time of the thirty year war. We have a great selection of equipment and armament for these periods including historical tents and various types of stabbing, cutting and shooting weapons.
With the years passing the group enjoyed a lot of changes. Starting as all-gothic all-bashing fencing/archery gang which was taking part on both historical and fantasy events through „30-years war“ fighting regiment and scenic/film fencing company. Finally settling as a Dragoons regiment, fencing school and archery company, with some of our members actively competing in HEMA tournaments.
