Who else does classical or historical fencing?
Authentic classical and historical fencing are extremely rare and hard to find. My master, the late Frederick Rohdes taught classical fencing in the dueling tradition. He also taught historical fencing to interested students. During my 28 years of experience, it has only been in recent years that I have come across any fencing masters who teach authentic classical fencing and historical fencing in the dueling tradition. Please see the IMAF website for a list of qualified instructors worldwide. The Martinez Academy of Arms extends its hand in friendship and congeniality to anyone who wishes to learn or has a common interest. Our goal is to inform and educate, in order to foster the development, interest, growth, spread, and practice of classical fencing and historical fencing. We strive for the renaissance of the art of true swordsmanship, La Verdadera Destreza.
