Bucks Historical Longsword, Pennsylvania, USA
Chandeliers fear him, opponents respect him… well, sometimes.
With nearly two and a half decades immersed in historical swordplay, Allan Sherlock has won and lost, loved and learned, and collected stories, and scars from events across the country. His competitive journey includes reaching the SoCal Swordfight Tier A gold medal match two years in a row. These days, his mind is just as focused on teaching as it is on fencing. Allan specializes in translating high-level competitive experience into practical, adaptable concepts students can apply immediately. Allan's here to share ideas forged through years of fighting, thinking, and occasionally rethinking everything he thought he knew.
