Aaron Lamontagne

Lead Instructor

I began my career teaching Italian swordplay at the Academie Duello in 2012 with teaching archery at its summer Knight Camp. By the time I left the Academie in 2020, it was simpler to list the things I wasn’t teaching!

I have completed certification courses in teaching Historical European Martial Arts through the Academie Duello.

I have previously coordinated demonstrations for the public, directed the Academie’s award winning Knight Camp, led lessons for corporate team building events, youth groups and schools, and have presented original research to teachers during the BCSSTA’s annual conference. 

My passion is teaching medieval martial culture, ethics, history, and the disciplines of historical rapier, polearms, sidesword, longsword, dagger, and grappling.
