Ascalon Academy of Historical Swordsmanship

At Ascalon Academy, we spend a lot of time learning how not to be the person getting stabbed.

Join us and learn the historical arts of the Longsword, Rapier, and Saber from real historical systems. No experience necessary, and despite what medieval artwork might suggest, our students have an excellent survival rate.
