Frequently Asked Questions

Is AEMMA a reenactment or theatrical group?

No. Our purpose is not to perform medieval re-enactments or deliver plays in medieval theatre. However, we are more than willing to train interested individuals engaging in theatrical and/or re-enactment combat in the art of medieval combat as taught by the medieval masters.

What is the difference between AEMMA and a re-enactment group?

In general, a re-enactment group will act out some previous historical event and therefore, would script or structure the engagements for the purpose of entertainment. Although they may occassionally employ historical techniques, the outcome of every bout is planned accordingly. Whereas, at AEMMA, the training orientation is martial arts, or in other words, the "arts of war".

What is theatrical fencing?

Frequently Asked Questions about Classical and Historical Fe...
Theatrical fencing should not be confused with historical fencing, classical fencing, or modern competitive sport fencing. Theatrical fencing has also evolved from historical roots. However, although some of the techniques and methods have some historical basis, it was never intended to be taught as actual combat technique. It is an entirely different discipline. Its sole purpose is to create the illusion of swordplay in the mind of the audience.

When is the next "reenactment" of the battle?

Wilson's Creek National Battlefield - Frequently Asked Quest...
It is widely believed that a reenactment of the Battle of Wilson's Creek is held every year on the original battlefield. In fact, only two major battle reenactments have been held (one in 1991, the other in 2000). Both were done on private land and were hosted by groups or individuals, not by the National Park Service. Current NPS policy does not allow for battle reenactments (simulated combat with opposing lines and casualties) on NPS property. The alternative is called "living history.

Are there any women in AEMMA?

Not really. An 11th-12th century sword, similar to those used by Saxons, Vikings and Normans, would weigh about 2 1/2 - 3 pounds (1.1 - 1.35 kilograms). A 13th-14th century hand-and-a-half sword would weigh 3 to 3 1/2 pounds (1.35 - 1.6 kilograms). 14th - 15th century longswords would weigh 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 pounds (1.6 - 2 kilograms). AEMMA's steel weapons are about 3/4 pound (350 grams) heavier on average than their medieval counterparts due to the fact that our weapons are not sharp.

What is a "Theatrical Aspect Ratio"?

ReelThoughts
Before I started including this information in reviews, one of the most frequent requests I received was to add the "theatrical aspect ratio" as part of the header information. Inserting this single line, however, has caused a great deal of confusion, since a lot of people don't have a clue what a "theatrical aspect ratio" is. Put simply, it's the ratio of the width of a projected movie to its height. A 1.85:1 ratio means that the movie is 1.85 times as wide as it is high. Typical ratios are 1.

How do the victims die in the theatrical series?

In the theatrical series, the victims see their TV turning on to the well, which is also the last scene of the cursed video, and then Sadako crawls from the well, then she crawls from the TV set, she paralyzes the victims, and finally, shows them her left (from her perspective) eye.

Why don't you take on theatrical rights too?

Janson Media
It's really a different business, with a different business model, different companies and different markets to attend. We have always specialized in factual or non-fiction entertainment, for which there is no theatrical market. The companies buying theatrical rights are also buying TV and DVD rights, territory by territory, and they are not interested in acquiring movies without recognizable stars or with budgets smaller than about 20 million dollars.
