Bio: Michael-Forest Meservy is the founder and head instructor of the Noble Science Academy. Michael-Forest initially began his study of the longsword in 2001 under the tutelage of Jake Norwood. When Michael-Forest relocated to Reno, Nevada, he formed the Noble Science Academy there, which initially focused on studying Fiore’s longsword.
In the following years, he has studied a number of other European martial traditions, most especially the art of the longsword found in Liechtenauer, Codex Wallerstein, and Paurñfeindt, and has honed his skills as a fencer and instructor. He is also an advocate for Folk Wrestling in HEMA, and teaches the only regular class on Scottish Backhold in the Western US.
