⚔ Meet your Historical Swordsmanship instructors! ⚔
Andy - "I'm Andy, lifelong Holland resident and perpetually curious explorer. I discovered historical swordsmanship while researching sword use for a D&D game. Seeking a way to stay active during our long winters, I attended a class from the Swordsmanship Museum & Academy and was instantly hooked. This sport offers a unique blend of physical fitness and historical education, helping build coordination, strength, and trust. We skip the dry lectures and traditional gym workouts to focus on active lessons and practical exercises. I invite you to take up a sword and join us as we challenge ourselves and explore history together."
Brian - "I'm Brian, a lifelong Zeeland resident and a nerd for life. As someone who follows their interests and pursues their passions, I believe the best exercise routine is one you can stick with, and that you'll best be able to stick with something you find interesting. I've always been drawn to swords in fantasy, so why not learn how to swing them safely and effectively from the original historic sources while getting a workout at the same time? I joined my university's HEMA club ten years ago and have been practicing longsword since. If you think this sounds cool, then pick up a sword and take a swing at it."
