HEMATICS
@HEMATICSHEMATICS, launched in July 2019, is a Patreon channel dedicated to providing high-quality video instruction in Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), specifically longsword fencing. Instructor Ingulf Popp-Kohlweiss and his team offer a comprehensive online course, distinguished by its authentic approach featuring fencers and trainers utilizing their native languages, supplemented by subtitles for accessibility. Currently boasting 106 total members, including 42 paid patrons, HEMATICS has cultivated a dedicated community of HEMA enthusiasts. While the channel's financial success is modest, generating an estimated $222 in earnings, its consistent output and growing membership base demonstrate a commitment to providing valuable and engaging HEMA content. The use of native languages in instruction, while unusual, offers a unique level of authenticity often missing in other online HEMA resources. The channel's ongoing success signals a clear niche appeal within the HEMA community.
