Saint Michael's Guild

School for Traditional Martial Arts

The Saint Michael's Guild is a contemporary association rooted in the rich tradition of the historic Antwerp fencers’ guilds.
As the heir to these medieval guilds, our association offers a unique opportunity to practice Traditional European Martial Arts. Our members train in the techniques and principles that once protected the city’s elite — from the art of fencing to the philosophy of warriorship.

Since the guild’s re-establishment in 2015, we have been committed to reviving these ancient traditions and passing them on as a modern martial sport. By blending historical techniques with a contemporary approach, we ensure that the martial art remains both respectful to its origins and relevant to today’s practitioners.

Join the Guild of Saint Michael and become part of a rich fencing tradition. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced enthusiast, we offer you the chance to challenge yourself physically and mentally, develop your skills, and be part of a passionate community.


Become a custodian of this martial heritage, following in the footsteps of age-old traditions that remain alive and meaningful today.​
