Ancient Combat Enthusiasts School
ACES teaches a structured martial art, using Western weaponry from the early Renaissance on backwards. Researched from Fightmasters such as Hans Talhoffer, texts such as the Codex Wallerstein, and using up to date knowledge of martial arts and physical instruction, our curricula meld the techniques and weapons of the past with modern methods and ingenuity. Our goal is to bring Medieval weapons training to everyone who wants to learn.
Our Curriculum
We offer three levels of class involvement: curriculum, safety sparring, steel sparring. Our martial art is based on strength and stamina, rather than agility and speed, but the potential for more aerobic exercise is present in our safety sparring class. We assume that a new student has never held a sword – or staff, or pike – and will be trained from the basics up. We take pride in turning no one away. Do you have a physical limitation such as bad knees, ankles, or wrists? We will work with you and modify training so you can learn. Are you hesitant or nervous about trying something new and different? We encourage and support all our students and we believe you will learn to love our sport. If you want to learn medieval fighting, we want to teach you!
