Welcome to the
Signum Corvus School of Arms
We are historical martial arts school located in Mississauga, Ontario.
At Signum Corvus, we are dedicated to the study and practice of the Historical European Martial Arts based on the preserved historical sources of the era between 15th and 19th century.
Our school offers instruction in historical swordsmanship and we teach our students the longsword, rapier and sabre fighting techniques of the old European fencing masters.
If learning sword fighting is something that you would want to try, we would be happy to welcome you in our School.

Our programs
Medieval Longsword
The knightly art of medieval longsword. Nothing epitomizes the middle ages more than this iconic weapon of the Aristocratic warrior class.
​
Renaissance Rapier
Finesse and deadliness. The Renaissance brought new ideas on how to fight and what weapons to use. The ultimate dueling art!
​
Napoleonic Sabre
Embodiment of brutal effectiveness. Beautiful, flashy and fast. When in doubt as to what weapon to carry with you, can't go wrong with sabre.
