Meet other people interested in the living tradition of Classical and Historical Fencing. It is the only Western Martial Art! Open to all levels and experiences.

In New York, we are affiliated with the Martinez Academy of Arms. The Academy is a unique school that preserves the tradition of fencing as the study of the sword in its realistic application in personal combat.

The structure of the school is based on that of the fencing academies of the past. Each student is taught on an individual basis and guided in developing a unique style suited to the individual. It is upon this foundation that an environment of formal training and scholarship have been carefully cultivated, supported by an ambiance of elegance and congeniality.

Modern competitive sport fencing and theatrical fencing are not part of the curriculum. We do not engage in sport, choreography, historical reenactment, or fantasy play. We practice every weapon (with the exception of foil, which is not an actual weapon but an academic training tool) as though we were preparing for a serious encounter.
