In our premier youth program, Knight Academie, students train to become fully-fledged knights versed in the Historical Martial Arts of Europe (HEMA) learning and practicing longsword, sword & shield, polearms, archery, and the Knightly Virtues, such as Integrity, Mercy, and Courage!
Students in Knight Academie follow the same rank progression as participants in Academie Duello's Knight Camp, from Paggio (Page) to Cavalieri su Veglia (Knight on Vigil), as they progress on their path to knighthood.
Each 12-week term includes:
- 12 hours of weapons classes, including lessons in longsword, sword & shield, and polearms
- 12 hours of archery classes, for beginners and experienced shooters
- Knightly Virtue lessons with Virtue Quests to complete each week
- Exercises and drills for improving skills at home between classes
- Sparring practice and tournaments!
- Grand tournament on the last class of the term!
- Knightly Trials to accomplish in each of the seven progressive rankings, from page to knight
- Bonus 30 minutes of practice time after each class to get extra help, more sparring, and work on Knightly Trials!
