Museum of American Fencing

Andy is a well known local figure, and extremely eccentric (in a good way!). He'll be more than happy to spin a yarn about practically anything in the museum. Lessons and a summer camp are hosted in the same location, so call ahead to make sure he's there and not busy with students.

Mr. Andy Shaw trained many movie stars to fence or use various weapons, including for "Star Wars" and "Gladiator." He was a stunt double. Lessons available. Call to make sure he is there.
