Academia Duellatoria, located in Portland Oregon, is a school dedicated to teaching "The Noble Art of Defense" as found in the surviving manuscripts of the fencing masters of Europe written between 1300 and 1700 A.D.
Subject matters studied include grappling, dagger work, medieval sword and buckler, Italian, German, Dutch and Spanish raper fencing, Italian and German Longsword. In addition to these physical pursuits we try to include a relevancy to modern unarmed self defence applications.
We currently offer group martial arts instruction twice a week in the greater Portland area. Additionally, we offer lectures, combat demonstrations, private lessons, consultation, fight choreography, and stunt work by special arrangement.
