"La solución de la dubda es el invencio de la verdad." |

The Martinez Academy of Arms is a unique school that preserves the tradition of fencing as the study of the sword in its realistic application in personal combat. Entering the Academy, one steps into another era and finds a serious group of practitioners dedicated to the art of the sword. 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. Under expert guidance in this environment, students are supportive of each others' progress and development. 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. ClassesNewsCalendarInstructor
