Quintin Tanseco is an Instructor at Academie Duello specializing in historical archery traditions alongside longsword. His expertise spans barebow, ACB (Asiatic Composite Bow), longbow, and two-handed swordsmanship.

Quintin’s focus on archery brings students into the world of ranged combat that was essential to historical warfare.
