Founded in Reno in 2008 to study the noble science of swordplay, the Noble Science Academy’s oldest branch is still located in the Reno/Sparks area.

Our school, now in Sparks, is currently following the Academy curriculum for longsword (emphasizing the use of both Italian and German longsword techniques), rapier (emphasizing Giganti), Scottish broadsword, British smallsword, and German sword & buckler (using the Tower Fechtbuch).
