The Knights of Siena Fencing Academies began in 1994 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. The academy was founded by Alan Blakeborough in a small 1,000 ft commercial studio space The concept was new and revolutionary at the time. Make a fencing facility like a martial arts Dojo; a place where anyone who wants to learn the sport of fencing, can learn, and enjoy the sport. Now after 60+ facilities and 1,000's of people trained in the sport, the Knights of Siena concept is the norm in USA fencing facilities
