Instead we focus, in or out of armor, on historical techniques in context.  Students will approach the arts through solo and partner drill, grappling, free fencing with replica weapons designed to be blunt versions of period originals, test cutting, and study of the period sources.  Emphasis at all times is on the maxim &#8220;DON&#8217;T GET HIT!&#8221;  both from the standpoint of modern safety and reproducing period technique.  NW Armizare works with scholars of Historical Martial Arts, History, Education, and Culture to place techniques into the context of the period and culture in which they were developed. Our members train to approach our martial arts as integrated <em>systems<\/em>, focusing on principles first, and not simply collections of &#8220;tricks&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"868\" height=\"960\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nwarmizare.com\/Newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/group-shot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-121\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nwarmizare.com\/Newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/group-shot.jpg 868w, http:\/\/www.nwarmizare.com\/Newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/group-shot-271x300.jpg 271w, http:\/\/www.nwarmizare.com\/Newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/group-shot-768x849.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.nwarmizare.com\/Newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/group-shot-600x664.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 868px) 100vw, 868px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NW Armizare is a Portland Area group dedicated to the study of Historical Martial Arts.
