Sign up today for January's Longsword Workshop at Once Sold Tales in Kent! Click here for more details! Space is limited! Check out our newest program, Fencebook! Fencebook is your one-stop-shop social network for swordmanship!

The primary study track of Veritas Swordplay Academy is the German medieval tradition Kunst des Fechten ("Art of Fighting"), founded in the 14th Century by Master Johannes Liechtenauer. The longsword, the choice weapon of the medieval knight, is the teaching tool of Kunst des Fechten and from it the techniques of the other weapons in the tradition are taught.

Like any martial art, those who choose to join us in our study of medieval European martial arts will find a source of discipline, character development and good exercise. Additionally, the practitioner will discover the joy that comes from resurrecting history and exploring past cultures. This martial art is about bettering ourselves through emulating the chivalry of the medieval knight and reconnecting to a lost heritage.
