LATEST AND GREATEST

For the first time EVER!!! The Classical Academy of Arms awarded me certification as the Historical European Martial Arts instructor in Longsword. The diploma is accredited by the AAU, ICCE, NCACE, and the US Center for Coaching Excellence. And yes, that will be the very first certification in the world. Two (2) of my students were certified the next day, making me so proud of my 10-year dedicated work in historical fencing. CAA is developing certification programs for all historical fencing coaches to the Prévôt and Master levels. I'll be ready!
