Meet Our Team
Savannah Longsword Fencing Club is built on our coaches, each dedicated to creating amazing fencers. Get to know them below, and then come out in person and meet them yourself!


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 dedicated fencer and emphasizes a hands-on training approach, teaching historical technique through practical application, results driven decision-making, and ample amounts of sparring. He also just really likes hitting things with swords.


Assistant Coach/Youth Instructor — Minh Nguyen
A walking talking loudspeaker, Minh Nguyen has been fencing since 2024 and is the Assistant Coach and Youth Instructor of SLFC. He styles himself the historical enthusiast of the club, and likes to combine his fencing field knowledge with an abundant amount of source study to try and be as nerdy as humanly possible. His primary mission is spreading the awesomeness of historical fencing, but he’s also killer at karaoke.
