St. George Arm Protectors (Pair)
Statutory warranty – Show EU notice
The St. George Arm Protectors They were specifically developed for the requirements of modern HEMA and historical fencing. They combine reliable protection against surface mechanical impacts with exceptional flexibility and low weight.
Unlike heavy hard-shell solutions that restrict movement and unnecessarily strain the weapon arm, the St. George system offers precisely the protection required for intensive sparring and tournament battles – without compromising handling.
Developed by historian and HEMA instructor Paul Becker in collaboration with experienced German manufacturers, including Uhlmann Fechtsport, the arm protectors are made entirely in Germany and have been consistently designed for the practice of historical fencing.
Lightweight protection for serious training
The St. George Arm Protectors offer reliable protection:
- forearm
- Elbow
- upper arm
and remain slim, light and agile.
The modular three-part construction follows the natural movements of the arm and enables precise weapon handling – especially important for sabers, rapiers, swords, side swords and other one-handed systems.
The low weight significantly reduces fatigue in the weapon arm and ensures a more natural fencing feel, even during long training sessions or intensive tournaments.

Mobility, yes.
