The Academy of European Swordsmanship: Canada's oldest Western Martial Arts school.

Founded in 1994, the AES studies all aspects of Western Martial Arts (martial arts from a European origin, whether cultural or geographical). With a primary focus on the sword, The AES strives to develop a fully rounded warrior, learning several weapons, unarmed combat (practical self defence), and grappling arts - all from a purely western perspective. There is no doubt about it, our western heritage is the strongest martial tradition on the planet.
