About the trainer – Diana Matthes

I started HEMA in Fall 2013. In Spring 2014, I attended my first open tournament and ended up in 3rd place. I quickly started to travel around to meet other HEMA people.
I’ve been part of the german delegation for the European games in Minsk in 2019, I then took a break from competing until october 2022, when Björn Rüther asked me a day before to be part of their team for the team tournament at the Gathering 2022.
I am part of no club since 2019, what brought me the nickname of The Mercenary. Since then, I travel around to teach and learn at several clubs and events (because never done learning).

I already taught in Canada, Hungary, France, Spain, UK, Iceland. Will soon teach in USA and
