Keith Ducklin, Senior Fight Interpreter of the Royal Armories in Leeds, England, will be giving this special one day workshop on the John Waller Method of Historical Fencing. This unique event will focus on great-sword and rapier & dagger.

This is one of only two unique workshops Mr. Ducklin, recently featured on the History Channel’s Arms in Action series, is giving in America and an unprecedented opportunity to see first hand the Royal Armouries’ method and receive hands-on instruction in person. A special video of the Royal Armories fight interpretation team will be shown followed by demonstrations, exercise, and instruction. This is a rare chance to meet Mr. Ducklin and experience his knowledge and expertise as well as gather and play with fellow historical swordplay enthusiasts.
