Small-Sword Academy (18th Century Fencing)

from Jeannette Acosta-Martinez

The Martinez Academy of Arms is pleased to announce this weeklong Academy in the art & science of French small-sword.

Train as gentlemen did in the era when they wore the small-sword as an everyday article of dress and dueling was common place. Between 1754 & 1787 alone, NYC was a veritable hub for American fencers, with at least fourteen fencing schools, eleven of which operated in a concentrated area of lower Manhattan.

Under the guidance of expert Instructors, participants will receive instruction suited to their level of experience and ability. This workshop will be divided into two levels. (from )
