The Early Medieval Alliance, or EMA, (not to be mixed up with eMJay/Mattinho) is one of the largest medieval reenactment umbrella groups in the United Kingdom.

Originally founded by the three British groups "Harlech Medieval Society", "Crimdon Sword & Shield" and "The Swords of Albion", the EMA now consists of more than 20 member groups from all over the British Islands and now even Germany.

The EMA organises several events across the United Kingdom on a regular basis and EMA member groups attend most of the major events in the region.For events organised by the EMA, a ruleset based on tried and tested methods, such as the "Fast Accurate Safe Technique" (FAST) for swordsman, was created to promote safe, fun and competitive fighting across a range of weapons, styles and periods. Most member groups have adopted the ruleset or a variant thereof for training sessions and private events and it is even the basis of systems used outside of the EMA.

The EMA, which is run by volunteers from the member societies, also acts a support organisation and pressure group for its members, helping them with everything from best practice to lobbying on new legislation.
