Founded on December 17, 2011, by Jaye T Brooks Sr. — Six-time IMCF World Champion Gold Medalist, founder of Armored Combat Sports and the USA Knights — The Knights Hall was built on a mission: to motivate, train, and educate combatants, and to grow the sport of armored combat in America.
“At The Knights Hall, we believe that fitness is key. We strive to build a better fighter, from the ground up. Strength and stamina, along with a healthy mind and body, are essential when working to become the best armored combatant you can be.”
Since its founding, The Knights Hall has grown into one of the premier training centers for armored combat in the United States with active halls in both Nashua, NH, and Charlton, MA.
We offer a wide variety of classes each week, from soft kit sparring to full-contact steel fighting, alongside strength training and drills for all skill levels. Our instructors are decorated fighters and skilled coaches dedicated to helping you develop both as a combatant and as part of a growing community.
