I was browsing a HEMA subreddit, Historically European Martial Arts, and some guy was crying that a white nationalist was in his club. He wanted to know how to avoid attracting qhite nationalist and a lot of folks were arguing to remove the European part because being European isn't inclusive. Are white people so cucked that including European in our own cultures considered racist?

Typical Reddit for you. But what European martial arts are there outside of Dutch kickboxing and Queensbury boxing? Is it some sword techniques or something? Maybe I should check out the sub before they remove it.
It's ltke fencing, but it attempts to simulate a real sword fight. There are a variety of different swords which are popular to fight with: longsword, saber, rapier, side sword and buckler, smallsword and others. You can get a pretty good cardio workout if you go hard, but it's not boring like calisthenics or jogging. It's fun you don't take it too seriously, and have good people to fight with. Some of the techniques are pretty made up, but the better clubs try to learn what they can from historical manuals. Tends to attract a lot of nerds.
