Knights Oath
Knights Creed
The Knights of Siena was founded at Siena College
in 1986, on the idea of the chivlarous knight.  One
of our founders, Roger Ziomkowski, defined
competitive fencers as the modern day knights

.  The Knights of old were brave warriors who were
able to bear arms to defend the weak and
defenseless.  Much in the same way that the only
people running around with swords today are
competitive fencers (try explaining to the airline that
you have swords in your luggage).

The original group of Siena's 17 fencers developed
 the vision of what is the Knights of Siena is today.  
Our adult fencers are considered "descendants" of
those first Knights of Siena.  They are the founding
force of our schools and without them we would
lose the very heart of what has become the largest
fencing school in the United States today.

Roger if you are ever reading this, I still have the
first book of Siena Knights.
