Come on a journey through time, and learn about the martial history of knights and duellists!
Far from armoured brutes wildly hacking and smashing their enemies, the knights and
duellists of the middle ages and renaissance were highly trained martial artists. Skilled not
only with swords, but also with daggers and spears, in and out of armour, on foot and on
horseback.
Presenters from Academie Duello will host your students, or travel to your school. Over the
course of an hour they will describe the martial arts of medieval and renaissance Italy, along
with live demonstrations, show and tell of medieval weapons and armour, and a Q&A period
at the end of the presentation.
