Steel Ring Academy

Steel Ring Academy is a historical sword fighting school offering sword fighting classes for Teens ages 11-17 and Adults in the Sarasota-Manatee, Florida area.

Practicing HEMA since 2010, we have a primary focus on longsword in the KDF tradition, with Meyer’s Art of Combat as the foundation of our study.

We utilize a Spiral Approach for our curriculum, re-visiting and building upon skills as students progress through additional concepts. Our seven-level ranking system tracks an individual student's skill progression and achievements, allowing for personalized growth and development within the group class structure.

Steel Ring Academy prides itself on being a welcoming and positive environment. If you are interested in sword fighting for history, fitness, or just because it's a whole lot of fun, there is a place for you at SRA. Step into the ring and discover the art and sport of HEMA.
