Jeremy Pace

Jeremy Pace is the head instructor for Cymbrogi School of Western Martial Arts out of Oklahoma City. Jeremy has been practicing WMA/HEMA since 2001 but began MOF and other sword arts when he was 15 years old. Jeremy, and Cymbrogi,  primarily study early KDF (Kunst des Fechten) and Longsword has been their weapon of choice for student and skills development. Jeremy is a firm believer however that only through fully exploring KDF can you become masterful in the Art. This means they also offer classes on Medieval Wrestling (Ringen), Dagger, Messer, and Harness. 

As the Head Instructor, Jeremy is most proud of his fellow instructors and the success of their students. In his time developing and studying the Art of KDF he has embraced the mindset that the only way to truly test your skills in the Art is through competitive play. This reflects in his own tournament success and the success of many of his students and instructors.  Jeremy Pace has been in the top ten for Longsword longer than any other active HEMA member in HEMA Ratings, and his students have often been in the top 50 or 100 in Longsword. The success of their School comes directly from applying fundamental concepts and skills learned through the application of KDF in Tournaments, Jeremy believes. 

Not content to just stay at home and promote an island effect in his region, Jeremy has traveled to Mexico, the west coast, the cold north, and all the way to Europe to fence and teach classes. He does this with a mix of both classroom structure and guided sparring for instruction.
