A group of historical fencers practice the works of the 14th Century Italian fencing master, Fiore Dei Liberi, in the St Laurent viaduct area of Mile End, in Montreal

Almost two years ago, I started teaching Armizare private lessons to several gifted historical fencers.

Last month, they founded the nonprofit Groupe d' Escrime Historique, here in Montreal, to continue the tradition of teaching the Art to others, and I'm so proud of them! βš”οΈ

Look'em up on FB!

Today is my last day at Ubisoft after an amazing 15 years. I wish only the best for all the teams as I leave for a new and exciting role at another publisher.

The past four years on the Funny Sword Game have been the absolute best. Thank you to everyone who had a part to play in that. ykwya ❀️

Holtfreter Labs Hello! My name is Kurt Holtfreter and I am a historical fencing martial artist who wishes to share information and perspective I have gained through training, experimentation of arms, and research. ...

To any of my fellow game devs and/or folks working in film:

If there's historical/medieval combat in your project, and you want a seasoned martial artist to provide authenticity input, I can't recommend Kurt Holtfreter highly enough.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Thank you. I've been screaming this for months at relatives who keep parroting this narrative.

What's wild is I show them a full speech from Biden and the fussing about his age stops.

Meanwhile Trump short circuits while shitting his pants at one of his fan club rallies and it's barely news. 😀
