Matt R-K

Matt R-K has been studying historical martial arts since 2015. He began his studies at Academy of Arms Los Angeles where he rose through the ranks to become Assistant Instructor. He teaches in the longsword tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer with a focus on earlier sources such as Ms. 3227a. He has also studied other weapon systems within the Kunst des Fechtens umbrella, and the sword and buckler system of Ms. I.33. His teaching ethos strives to explore these techniques through competitive experimentation to achieve a flexible, martially valid, and dynamic fighting style.
