The Noble Science Academy is dedicated to the study and practice of Historical Swordsmanship and European Martial Arts. This means that all of the techniques and principles we use in our swordplay and grappling are based on historical manuals written by actual Medieval and Renaissance masters. Currently, our main areas of study are German and Italian longsword, Rapier, and Sword & Buckler.
Michael-Forest Meservy is the lead Scholar and instructor of the New Hampshire chapter of the Academy. Michael-Forest initially began his study of the longsword in 2001 under the tutelage of Jake Norwood. Since founding the Noble Science Academy, Michael-Forest has striven to develop an efficient curriculum containing a comprehensive system for teaching and learning the longsword based on historical principles, terminology, and techniques. He is a certified instructor of the HEMA Alliance, and also holds an MLitt in Medieval History from the University of Glasgow.
