What is Academie Duello?

Academie Duello is a school of European Swordplay and Western Martial Arts devoted to teaching the weapons of the historical gentleman and
warrior. Our Martial Arts training includes sword arts such as the rapier, sidesword, sword and shield, and long sword, as well as the quarterstaff, spear, knife and unarmed combat.

Which Program is Right for Me?

Our Mastery Program is suitable for the serious Martial Artist looking to study the sword as a long-term Martial Art and gaining the full physical and mental benefits.

Check out our Warrior Program if you are drawn to the more physical side of sword fighting including the heavier knightly weapons such as the long sword, and sword and shield.

For youth aged 8 to 14 check out our ongoing Youth Program and
spring/summer Knight Camps.

Actors and Stunt people will benefit from all of our programs but
should also check out our Theatrical swordplay and martial arts program.

We also offer:

  • Private and group instruction
  • Corporate events and team-building
  • Birthday parties
  • Gift Packages
  • Workshops on swordplay and self-defense.

Come and visit our training studio and sword store anytime from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday to Friday, or 11:00 am to 4:00 pm Saturdays.
