| Sir Bjorn Jorsalfar (left), Green Knight Academy's senior instructor. (Yes, there are still real knights!) Sir Bjorn has over 19 years in experience teaching the art to young people and adults, and is a multiple-tournament champion in medieval armored combat re-enactment as well. |
| One group of our students train with real metal armor, some of which they make themselves! (above are Alexius and Gareth, both age 17) |
| Our younger students train with lighter, faster armor and weapons made of foam and PVC plastic. (L-R Aaron, Andrew, Matt, Ethan, Brian and Erik prepare to fight "The Troll.") |
| Medieval martial arts is a fun and safe sport for both boys and girls. (Both these photos above are of Katie, age 17!) |

| Not only do our students have a lot of fun together and make new friends, but they learn trust, responsibility, and fellowship through GKA's honor-system combat format and the school's Eight Knightly Virtues. At left, students stand together with Sir Bjorn at the end of each class to reaffirm their commitment to their martial art, their convictions, and to each other. |
