Pedro Velasco
Pedro se inició en la práctica de las artes marciales en 1983, desarrollando una larga trayectoria que incluye taekwondo, full contact, jujutsu e iaido. Desde el año 2006 se ha dedicado en exclusiva al estudio de las Ars Palestrinæ (Artes de Palestra), disciplinas que dentro de las HEMA anteponen la práctica marcial sobre la deportiva, trabajando una panoplia de armas articulada en un mismo corpus teórico. Actualmente es el director y principal instructor de la Sala de armas Pedro del Monte en Granada. Entre sus fuentes de investigación se encuentran principalmente tratados bajo-medievales y renacentistas, centrándose su trabajo actual en autores ibéricos e italianos.

Among his sources of documentation are mainly late medieval and Renaissance treatises, while his current work is focused on Iberian and Italian authors.

David Pascal
David Pascal nace en A Coruña en 1991 y comienza la práctica de la esgrima deportiva a los 13 años de edad, introduciéndose poco después en paralelo al estudio del espadín. También ha rotado por diferentes artes marciales a lo largo de su vida, como kenjutsu, bujinkan, aikido e iaido. En la actualidad, en paralelo a su preparación como floretista, estudia dos tradiciones de esgrima antigua. La primera es la escuela francesa de finales del siglo XVII y comienzos del XVIII, con autores como La Touche, Liancour y Girard. La segunda se corresponde con la doctrina mixta española que encarna el autor Rodríguez del Canto, una escuela del siglo XVIII que combina las tradiciones francesa, española e italiana en sistema único y original.
David Pascal was born in A Coruña in 1991 and began practising sport fencing at 13; the study of smallsword techniques would follow soon after. He has also practised several martial arts throughout his life, like kenjutsu, bujinkan, aikido and iaido. Nowadays, besides continuing his foil preparation, he is also studying two historical fencing traditions. The first is the french school of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with authors such as La Touche, Liancour and Girard. The second one corresponds to the Spanish mixed doctrine embodied by author Rodríguez del Canto, an 18th century school which combines the french, spanish and italian traditions into a single, unique system.

Moncho Varela
Tras once años practicando artes marciales orientales, Moncho se inició en el estudio de la esgrima histórica como alumno del maestro Ton Puey en el año 2009, desarrollando un estilo propio con claras influencias de la Verdadera Destreza pero con una marcada tendencia a la escuela vulgar y el uso de armas dobles.
Aficionado a la espadería tradicional y miembro de Academia da Espada desde su fundación, obtuvo el rango de alumno de tercer nivel en el año 2019. Desde sus comienzos en el mundo de las artes marciales, siempre ha visto el ambidextrismo como una habilidad digna de ser entrenada, puesto que si bien puede suponer o no una ventaja en determinadas situaciones, nunca tendría por qué suponer un lastre. Este punto de vista ha condicionado su entrenamiento en disciplinas como el Judo, el Kobudo o la arquería tradicional asiática. Sin embargo, no lo hizo en las artes marciales occidentales hasta el año 2016, año en que tras su reciente descubrimiento, comenzó estudiar e interpretar el manuscrito Arte de Esgrima del maestro lisboeta Domingo Luis Godinho, especializándose en el capítulo dedicado a las Dos Espadas y encontrando en ellas su arma predilecta.
After eleven years practising eastern martial arts, Moncho started studying historical fencing as student of master Ton Puey in 2009, developing a personal style clearly influenced by La Verdadera Destreza but also with a sharp tendency towards the "vulgar" school and the use of double weapons.
An enthusiast of traditional swordmaking and member of Academia da Espada since its foundation, he obtained the Third Level student rank in 2019. Since he began studying martial arts, he has considered ambidextrism as a skill worth developing. This point of view has inspired his training in disciplines as Judo, Kobudo or traditional eastern archery. However, he did not apply such an approach to HEMA until 2016, when he started studying and interpreting the Arte de Esgrima manuscript by lisbon-born master Domingo Luis Gondinho, focusing in the chapter dedicated to the Double Sword, his weapons of choice.

Xosé Nieto
Amante de la historia y de las películas de espadachines desde su más tierna infancia, Xosé se licenció en Historia en 2013, el mismo año que empezó a practicar esgrima histórica. Miembro de Academia da Espada desde su fundación, a lo largo de los años se ha interesado por una amplia variedad de armas, tratados y tradiciones esgrimísticas diferentes, al considerar todo ello un rico conjunto de elementos socio-económicos, políticos y culturales que nos ayudan a comprender el pasado. A partir de 2015 comenzó a estudiar técnicas de montante de la mano de Ton Puey, centrándose sobre todo en la tradición ibérica representada por los autores portugueses Godinho y Figueyredo, aunque con precedentes a lo largo del siglo XVI.
A keen lover of history and swashbuckling films since his childhood, Xosé got his History degree in 2013, the same year he begun practising historical fencing. A member of Academia da Espada since its foundation, throughout the years he has found himself interested in a wide variety of diverse weapons, treatises and fencing traditions, considering all of this a rich corpus of socio-economical, political and cultural elements that assist us towards understanding the past. From 2015 onwards he started to study Montante techniques alongside Ton Puey, focusing in the iberian tradition represented by the portuguese authors Godinho and Figueyredo, although with precedents throughout the XVI century.
