Palaestra wrestling uniform

Price range: €61.25 through €197.50
Crafted for the revival of historical wrestling arts, the Palaestra uniform is a robust, purpose-built and designed to handle the intense demands of grappling, throwing, and wrestling in HEMA. With a heavy-duty 750 g/m² weave in the jacket and reinforced seams, it stands up to the violent pulling, clinches, and explosive throws described in historical fight books. The shorts are made from 14oz black canvas and also has reinforced seams.
The cut and construction are optimised to support the kinds of grips found in medieval and later wrestling manuals such as Fabian von Auerswald or Nicolaes Petter—encouraging correct technique and committed play without compromising freedom of movement or structural integrity. The Palaestra uniform is made for those who are truly serious about the study of historical wrestling.
The name Palaestra draws from the ancient Greek term for the wrestling and boxing school: a space where bodies and spirits were tested and trained.
