Northwest Fencing Academy
We have a growing list of available courses as we film our entire curriculum and get it online! Martial Arts are literally "the Arts of Mars, " the Roman God of war, and throughout the centuries Europe has been home to a complex martial culture, from antiquity through the Middle Ages and Renaissance to the present day.

Italy's martial arts heritage is especially rich, and Northwest Fencing Academy is a school dedicated to the practice of Traditional Italian Swordplay and Martial Arts. Founded in 1997, the Academy provides professional instruction and training programs in the medieval art of Longsword, Polearms, Grappling, and Dagger (collectively known as Armizare), the elegant SideSword of the Renaissance, and the deadly 19th century Dueling Sabre.

Amazingly welcoming and friendly. Confidence inspiring and really friendly teaching environment. I would highly recommend them to anyone who's interested in learning how to wield a sword and make new friends.

Top shelf. What a great experience! Eugene is so lucky to have a first rate fencing academy, it is remarkable that more "mixed" martial artists neglect to include fencing as part of their repetoire.

I have studied with Sean several times over the years, even while focusing on different material, I always learned a great deal. I cannot recommend him enough as an instructor.
