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 primary focus is historical fencing. Most of our curriculum is devoted to medieval sword classes but we are not exclusively a sword school. In addition to sword training, we teach a wide array of weapons used by the European knights of the Holy Roman Empire, including dagger, hand-to-hand fighting, poleaxe, spear and halfsword. We are currently accepting students for evening classes at our indoor studio.

Please note: we are a martial arts school and do not teach stage combat or respond to casting inquiries.

Children of the Night is our school charity and we work with them to help provide a better life for their kids. Please do what you can to help!
