A Society for Classical and Historical Fencing Trainer Education, Development, Credentialing, and Support
Focusing on the educators & coaches of Classical and Historical sword. We encourage and support the training of coaches using modern teaching knowledge, applying original teaching curriculums where appropriate.
Certification
Individual and Group Certification through the Classical Academy of Arms. Our certification process emphasizes the training and practical experience needed to advance as a coach. Please refer to the certification pages for more information or contact us with questions.
Schools/Styles
We do not adhere to a single historical school, style or weapon. Our coaching training is adaptable and applicable to most weapons and styles.
We do in-depth study of numerous schools, using original texts where possible, and explore how to practice and teach them.
