Delaney Gilmour

Delaney Gilmour is an Instructor at Academie Duello with expertise spanning both historical martial arts and theatrical combat. Her specialties include longsword, rapier, and stage combat choreography.

Delaney’s unique combination of skills bridges the gap between authentic historical technique and dramatic performance. She understands both the practical application of Renaissance swordsmanship and how to translate those movements into safe, visually compelling stage action.

Her classes offer students the opportunity to explore swordplay from multiple angles—learning the genuine martial foundations while also discovering how these arts have been adapted for film, television, and live performance. This dual perspective enriches understanding of both disciplines, as theatrical combat requires deep knowledge of real technique to appear convincing and remain safe.
