Introduction
After studying Krav Maga, western boxing, and Filipino Arnis, I stumbled across the Martinez Academy in the summer of 2005, and have barely missed a week since. Come check out our open house, and witness something truly special and unique.
Did you know fencing is a western martial art?

Well, there is also Savate/Chausson, Catch-As-Catch-Can Wrestling, Graeco-Roman, and other rarer, regional styles such as Glima. But classical/historic fencing is certainly my MA of choice.

What interested you in fencing?

The Universe.

What's your favorite fencing movie?

Too many to list.

What weapons and styles do you practice - or would like to practice?

Northern Italian Foil, Radaellian Dueling Sabre, German Longsword, German Sidesword, Quarterstaff

Have you fenced before? Modern/Olympic or Classical/Historical?

I have been fencing 3 years at the Martinez Academy.
