Our Coaches
Head Coach/Founder — Marshall Strong
Since starting SLFC in 2014, Marshall Strong has been competing as an active member of the US HEMA community for over a decade and is the head coach of Savannah Longsword. Marshall is a lifelong devoted Longsword fencer and emphasizes a hands-first learning approach, teaching historical technique through practical application, results driven training, and ample amounts of live sparring. He also just really likes hitting things with swords.
Assistant Coach/Youth Instructor — Minh Nguyen
A self-described ‘walking loudspeaker’, Minh Nguyen is the Assistant Coach and Youth Instructor of SLFC, and teaches class when Marshall isn’t around or when he has something he especially wants to rant about. Fencing and teaching with both Longsword and Sabre, his primary missions are to spread the joy of historical fencing and create awesome fencing students. His primary strengths are his devilish wits and droll sense of humor, but he’s also killer at karaoke.
