We are pleased to announce that the first annual meeting of the heads of the academies will be hosted by the August Empire of Archaen's Academy of Fencing and Martial Arts.
GFA is a multi-empire organization dedicated to teaching fighting techniques from across the galaxy to its students. To this end, each member empire funds a fighting academy within its own borders, and welcomes students from other academies. Students from each academy are encouraged to participate in the exchange program and take courses at academies in other empires. When a student graduates from our system, he, she, or it will be guaranteed to have learned martial skills of the highest quality from cultures across the galaxy. Students wishing to be admitted to an academy must meet their empire's entrance requirements, but once admitted, no student is denied entrance to the exchange program based on nationality, species, gender, age, or any other factor which does not affect the student's ability to benefit from our courses.
Each academy must meet stringent requirements before it is accepted into our system. Our academies are of the highest quality, with expert instructors, comfortable accommodations, and well maintained equipment. The following is a complete list of our academies; please contact your local academy for entrance requirements. If you represent an empire that wishes to join GFA, please contact our director.
