Witness a knightly Deed of Arms — a contest of martial arts skill and honor in which armored knights demonstrate the techniques of spear, poleaxe, and other weapons of the Late Middle Ages, along with more recreational sword play. Meet knights from Chivalry Today, ask questions, and discover more about the arms, armor, and fighting techniques illustrated in medieval manuscripts during this free, drop-in program for visitors of any age. Complements the exhibition Play and Pastimes in the Middle Ages.
Based in San Diego, Chivalry Today is an educational organization that explores the history, literature, and philosophy of the code of chivalry through workshops, martial arts demonstrations, and school and summer camp programs.
