Welcome to the Academy

Located in Los Angeles, California, the Academy of European Fighting Arts is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study of the fighting arts of Medieval and Renaissance Europe. Our mission is to help expose these arts to the public and bring awareness to the complexity and refinement of the martial traditions of Europe.

A Practical Exercise

We believe that the best way to study any martial tradition is to get in and do it. We provide both private and classroom instruction. Here is a sample of some of the material available:

• Italian Longsword - Fiore
• Italian Rapier - Capo Ferro
• English Broadsword - Silver
• Sword and buckler - Manuscript I.33
• German Longsword, Dusack and Rapier - Meyer
• Grappling and Dagger in Italian and German traditions
• Pole weapon in Italian and German traditions

Whether exercise or education, presentations or classes, we hope that we can inspire you to explore this fascinating art.
