Medieval Sword Lessons at LionHeart Academy

Have you ever wondered what life was like for the knights of old? Scott Farrell of Chivalry Today presents a weekly workshop designed to give students an opportunity to discover, and eventually master, the surprisingly complex practice of medieval sword fighting. Lessons are drawn directly from historical source material – the fight-books or “manuals of defense” from the 14th and 15th centuries. This program lets you experience the skills of a real medieval knight training for battle, duel, or tournament.

The focus of Swords of Chivalry is not just on physical skill, but also on the values of self-discipline, respect, trust, sportsmanship, and honor – the values of the code of chivalry! Whether you want to learn to cross swords and spar with fellow students, or just get a low-impact workout through the range-of-motion physical techniques of the art of defense (it’s like yoga with a sword). Classes for adults and youth (13 years old minimum) are held weekly!

While our medieval fencing program accepts students aged 13 to 18, this martial arts program is aimed at adult participants. Parents of minors considering joining this program are encouraged to review Chivalry Today’s Youth Student Q&A page to see if medieval fencing is a good fit for your teen.
