The Martinez Academy of Arms hosted a formal Academia in New Orleans and I had the opportunity to teach and train at this event. It culminated in a Grand Fencing Exhibition on Sunday October 20th in which I did demonstration bouts and was selected to fence in the invitational portion of the event.

There was press and many photographers at the Grand Fencing Exhibition and here are just a couple of the articles:
