Academie Duello - Centre for Swordplay

⚔️ 𝗦𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗴𝗼

A few glimpses from this week’s intensive with a small group at the 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱.

Working through timing, measure, and decision-making under pressure. The kind of details that don’t show up until you slow things down and really look at them.

Small group, lots of reps, lots of adjustments.
The kind of work that actually sticks.

Good questions, sharp fencing, and a solid few days in the salle.

One virtue to try at home this week: courage. Not the big, loud kind. The small kind. Trying the thing you're not sure you can do.

At Knight Camp, courage is something kids practice, not something they're lectured about. It looks like stepping up to the archery line for the first time, or speaking up in the Virtue Circle. Ten knightly virtues, lived a little every day, for kids ages 8 to 14, right here in Vancouver.

Summer weeks are filling. See the camp details here; https://www.academieduello.com/youth/knight-camp/

𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽 is a 5-day medieval adventure day camp for ages 8 to 14, where kids get to move, imagine, learn, and grow.

Campers spend the week exploring swordplay, archery, games, history, creativity, and knightly virtues in a safe, structured setting.

It is a great fit for kids who love action and story, especially children who may not feel at home in a regular sports camp.

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀: if there is a child in your life who would light up at the chance to train like a knight, this is your sign to get them signed up.

⚔️✨ 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Battle scars were once seen as 𝗯𝗮𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Warriors and duelists carried marks from 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 and 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀 that told stories of training, discipline, and real encounters.

💥 Some came from duels. Some from practice.
Each one was part of the journey toward 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆.

⚔️ Today, you don’t need scars to feel 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗰… but you can step into the art, learn the craft, and experience the thrill for yourself.
