WELCOME TO THE ACADEMY OF ARMS LOS ANGELES

We are an all-volunteer, non-profit western martial arts school serving the greater Los Angeles area. Our historical fencing classes are taught to adult men and women in a supportive, community-oriented environment. In addition to medieval sword classes, we teach a wide array of weapons including dagger, grappling, spear, pollaxe, halfsword, sickle, messer, sword and buckler, and staff. We are currently accepting adult students for classes at our indoor studio. Due to the nature of the material we do not offer classes to minors.

Please note: we are a martial arts school and do not teach stage combat or respond to casting inquiries. Actors: this is not an art that translates directly to the stage or screen. Please apply only if you are interested in becoming a serious, long-term student of a martial art.
