Have you ever wondered what it is like to wield the knightly longsword or the musketeer's deadly rapier? At the Higgins Academy of the Sword you will receive expert instruction in rapier, longsword, and dueling sabre, as well as the classical forms of modern fencing weapons. We invite you to join a growing community of men and women exploring the art, science, and spirit of the sword in a safe, progressive system of instruction. Build overall fitness and coordination as you learn living swordplay traditions handed down from the days when a person's life might depend on their skill with a blade.

Class meets every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6:30 to 8:00. Tuition for eight classes is $180 ($150 for Museum members). The class is open to age 16 and up; a separate youth course (age 14-18) meets Thursdays 5-6pm. No equipment is required. To enroll, please contact Rhonda Houle at (508) 853-6015, ext 20, or higgins@higgins.org.
