The Academy Of European Swordsmanship

At the Academy we practice the full range of western martial arts from swords to polearms to dagger and hand-to-hand fighting (with a special love of the sword!). Emphasizing effective real-world techniques, the AES follows the teachings of several medieval and renaissance masters from all over Europe, while focusing on the teachings of the great German master, Johannes Liecthenauer. Western martial arts offers one of the most well-rounded curriculums of any fighting style and includes weapons and grappling.
