Restless\u00a0by nature<\/span>, he convinced a group of friends to embark on an activity he had just discovered in 2007: HEMA.

After having practiced shotokai karate during his childhood and adolescence, he began practicing sports fencing in 1995, beginning in 2003 his path within historical fencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His interest in the rapier sword led him to discover the school of True Dexterity through the Spanish and Portuguese treatises of the Golden Age, a discipline in which he decided to specialize, although without abandoning the work of the long sword, referring to the Italian authors of the 15th century, and of the sprat through the French authors of the 18th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been a founding member of the AGEA (Asociaci\u00f3n Galega de Esgrima Antiga), an honorary member of the FEEH (Spanish Federation of Historical Fencing), a member of the editorial board and vice president of AGEA editora (one of the longest-running and regular publishing houses dedicated to the historical fencing and specialized in Iberian fencing) and member of HEMAC (one of the first European associations of researchers and practitioners of European historical martial arts). He also founded, together with Alberto Bomprezzi and Den\u00eds Fern\u00e1ndez Cabrera, the ESPADA \u2013 Ibero-American Community of European Historical Martial Arts for the international promotion of HEMA in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries. In 2015 he is recognized as Mestre de Armas by HEMA Portugal and in 2018 as the first non-Italian Master of Historical Fencing by the Italian Fencing Federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is currently the technical director and Master of Arms of Academia da Espada, a school focused on the study of True Dexterity with the weapons of the moment of greatest splendor of the discipline, such as the rapier sword, alone or combined with dagger, buckler, rodela or cape and antler weapons in addition to the work in the interpretation of the rules of the stud of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the study and interpretation of the other fencing currents of the moment in the peninsula, especially the, so far, unique treatise not belonging to the preserved True Skill, the \u201cArt of Fencing\u201d by Domingo Luiz Godinho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a teacher, in addition to his usual work as an instructor in A Coru\u00f1a, Galicia, and the rest of the rooms integrated in Academia da Espada, he has given seminars in France, Austria, Italy, Holland, Ireland, Greece, USA, Mexico, Australia, China , Turkey, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal and Spain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
