Our Vision
Like it's other counterparts all over the world, the martial arts of medieval Europe are a complete and rich system. The hard part was the instruction. Medieval fight masters were publishing in their own time and were very careful not to give away their "secrets". Some manuscripts are written in code, other in poetic verse of that language and time period. Others have no instruction at all or none that survives. Knight Errant Academy of Chivalry teaches as much from the original source as we can and use many years of study along with thousands of hours of practical application. Together with a focus on the virtues of chivalry and some historical instruction on life in that era, our students are involved in a rich and exciting art they can rely on every day.
