The Academy of Arms in Los Angeles is a non-profit historical fencing school that offers a variety of classes in the art of Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), including medieval longsword, rapier, dagger, and more. With a focus on martial arts rather than sport, the academy provides a supportive and community-oriented environment for adult men and women to learn and practice the ancient art of sword fighting. As a school that approaches historical sword fencing as a martial art, the Academy of Arms emphasizes contact work rather than stage combat, allowing students to progress from plastic training weapons to blunt steel and eventually limited work with sharps. With a commitment to community involvement, the academy supports the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank as its charity partner and offers scholarship opportunities for aspiring martial artists.
