Derek Steel-Baron

The 1595. Club
Washington, USA

Beginning  his journey at the University of Tennessee Fencing Club in 1999 with coach Dale Drinnon, with 15 years of competitive sports fencing as a national competitor and coach; Derek  has turned his interest towards a more historical system of swordplay. Derek is one (if not the first) of many “correspondent” students of the 1595. Club, and while living in the Pacific Northwest, far away from his brothers and sisters in Europe and beyond, has come to feel the entire 1595. Club as family and strives to extend that feeling to those who train with him in the USA.

Washington, USA

The 1595. Club

The 1595 Club is a martial arts school dedicated to the practice and study of swordplay and the martial art of fencing. Our primary source of inspiration is the work of the sixteenth century soldier, philosopher and master of fence, Vincentio Saviolo, and it is from the year of publication of “His Practise” that the club takes its name.
