HEMA Highlands is a small club based in Ullapool. Our club was founded by our head Instructor Mick Skelly in 2016, originally as a branch of the Hotspur School of Defence. Mick has had over 16 years of experience in HEMA, qualifying as an instructor with the Hotspur School of defence in the North East of England, before moving to the highlands.
Whilst only having a handful of members, we have attended HEMA events regularly around Scotland, including competitions. We have hosted visiting practitioners from as far afield as Germany, as well as Scottish Instructors who have held special seminars. We hope to expand the reach of our club within the highlands in the future, with the possibility of opening up new chapters in the Black Isle. Other martial arts practitioners within the highlands have expressed interest in this.
We currently hold classes every Wednesday from 6-8pm at Braemore hall, Wester Ross, IV23 2RT
We also have regular sparring days from 3-5pm at Ullapool Village hall, Market Street, Ullapool, Wester Ross IV26 2XE.
