VierWindenPG — HEMA Montenegro. Historical fencing in Montenegro: we train in Podgorica and welcome fencing enthusiasts from across the country. Longsword — from your first steps to free sparring.
THE ART OF THE LONGSWORD / VIERWINDEN PGHEMA stands for Historical European Martial Arts: European fighting arts that we study through historical sources and test in practice. VierWindenPG is a HEMA club in Montenegro, training in Podgorica. Our focus is the longsword: footwork, distance, precision and split-second decisions.
Anton Gogin founded VierWinden PG in Podgorica. The club is dedicated to historical European longsword fencing. Our birthday is 3 July; in July 2026, we celebrated our second anniversary.
Today, VierWindenPG — HEMA Montenegro brings together people who love fencing: we train in Podgorica and represent Montenegro at international competitions.
Anton has practised longsword fencing since 2015. He began training under Alexey Izmaylov at the Paladin club in Moscow and witnessed the early development of VierWinden in Moscow.
He entered his first competition in 2016, at FechtTerra 2016. Today, Anton is the founder and coach of VierWinden PG in Podgorica, teaching longsword and competing in international HEMA tournaments alongside the club.

It is a sword with a grip designed for two hands. HEMA training uses practice weapons, with appropriate protective equipment for contact drills and sparring.
First, talk to the coach about what you need for your first session and what equipment the club can provide. Discuss any personal sword or protective equipment purchases beforehand.
We focus on learning techniques and applying them against a resisting partner. Free sparring is not rehearsed: you choose the timing, distance and appropriate action.
The coach decides when you are ready to spar. First, you need to learn weapon control, the rules of the exercise and how to use protective equipment.
