Martinez Academy Academia 2015 on YouTube

10/10/2015

 
On September 20, 2015, the Martinez Academy of Arms presented an exhibition of Classical Fencing to the general public in New Orleans.  This Formal Academia followed two days of training, classes, and lectures on various weapons as well as aspects of fencing practice.  Maestri, Provosts, Instructors, and students were selected to present assaults in a range of systems taught in the Martinez Academy.   I believe Mr. Patrick Morgan echoes my own sentiments regarding the event when he writes, “I have never seen so much fencing talent and knowledge in one place."  On a personal note, I was honoured to participate in assaults with Instructors Russell Hogg and Kim Moser in French Smallsword and Foil respectively.  I wish to express a sincere thanks to Maestro Martinez, Maestro Acosta-Martinez, Prévôt Cecil Longino as well as the organizers of the event for this unique opportunity. 

For those of you that were unable to attend, I hope this video can do some measure of justice to the great quality and variety of skill and artistry on display that day.  Lastly, congratulations to Mr. Ezra Homison for his exemplary embodiment of the ideals of Classical Fencing as was adjudicated by the panel of the Formal Academia.  Enjoy!
