This past Friday was an exciting day at Academie Duello. Sterling, who late last year received Academie Duello's Ultimate Knight package from the Grant a Wish Foundation, received the final and crowning component of the package: a full suit of custom sized plate armour.
The Ultimate Knight package includes weapons, armour, practice equipment, private lessons, and more. You can check out the full package on our website here.
Sterling has already been filling up many of his private lesson hours with our head archery instructor Patricia working his apprenticeship in our archery program.
Sterling put together tried the armour on for the first time on Friday and then transported it home in the most knightly fashion possible.
We look forward to seeing much of Sterling over the next year and into the future.
