About

Knight School Inc is a sports based empowerment organization specializing in Medieval arts and safety management. We create inclusive, accessible, and engaging programs in spaces safe for all. You can't be what you can't see, and at Knight School Inc we want everyone to see themselves as a Knight - a confident warrior capable of providing assistance in emergencies.

Knight School Inc was created to provide access to the world's most exclusive club - being a Knight. Gone are the days requiring a royal patent proving noble birth, a suit of armor, and a mighty steed. We teach the same historical skills to modern-day participants utilizing safe and effective training methods and revamped and re-envisioned tools and weapons.

We provide the swords, lances, and oftentimes even the horses necessary to fulfill your fantasy of becoming a Knight. Our clinics are inclusive, engaging, and welcoming. We bring all of the necessary equipment to you for any of our classes or clinics, even teaching you on your own horses, on your own property, in whatever tack you feel most comfortable in. These methods have been shown to safely and easily create deep bonds and lasting partnerships between any horse and owner pair - from off the track thoroughbreds to show ponies.

We hope to see you in the classroom, on the field, or in the list soon!
