YOUR INSTRUCTORS

The AHF is run by the Thomas Brothers, founders of the AHF in 2006 and experienced fencers since the 1990s. Both have a wide breadth of knowledge and experience across a variety of weapons and systems. We teach and train with longsword, rapier, sabre, and sword & buckler, with an emphasis on British, German and Italian traditions. Nick specialises in Italian rapier from Capo Ferro and British military sabre, broadsword, smallsword, and spadroon from Roworth, while Michael’s focus is 16th century longsword, dussack, and sidesword from Joachim Meyer. The Thomas Brothers run both schools, with classes taking place every week of the year.
