| Day with a Knight seminar series |
From time to time, Green Knight Academy is fortunate enough to host a Saturday seminar
with a great practitioner of our art as the instructor; we call these classes "A Day with a
Knight." We've already had some amazing instruction for some of the great knights of our
modern day, with more on the way. Here are some highlights from two recent Day with
Knight seminars:

| Day with a Knight I: May 12, 2007 Viscount Sir Richard d'Camville |
Sir Richard is a good friend of our school, and has been a teacher and practitioner of medieval martial arts for more than twenty
years. He has won the heavy division of our own Tournament of the Grail twice (!), and always leaves us better fighters than we
were when he visits. In our first Day with a Knight seminar, he taught the basics of combat found in a medieval fighting manual
by an Italian author called Fiore, and showed us how to adapt Fiore's concepts and techniques into our own styles.
