Alan Blakeborough began training at the R.P.I College fencing club, which offered a beginning-fencing program for high school students in the hopes of sending scholastic fencers to the New York State Empire State Games. Alan Blakeborough went on to attend Siena College in Albany, New York, and started his first fencing club through the ROTC program in 1986. The program became so successful that soon the college decided to open the program to all students on the campus. It was here that Alan Blakeborough developed his military training style for fencing, and began taking up sabre as his primary weapon. In 1993, Alan Blakeborough moved to Florida and begin the Knights of Siena Fencing Academy schools. In 1994, the academy began sending students and instructors to national competitions to see how things were done on the national level, and this is the philosophy that is the foundation for Knights of Siena Fencing Academies today.
