19th Century American Martial Arts Program
The American Heritage Fighting Arts program was first developed by Alliance in 1998, and has been further refined since that time. Originally focusing simply on the tools of the Wild West, the program now offers 19th century training in a wide range of civilian, military, and exotic weapons as well as unarmed fighting, physical culture, and academic research skills.

In 2000, I opened the American Heritage Fighting
Arts program to a select few researchers worldwide, each with a
specialty skill in the 19th century arts. In so doing, I also created
the American Heritage Fighting Arts Association (AHFAA).
In 2001, I created a website for the American Heritage Fighting Arts
Association, at http://ahfaa.org
This acts as a repository for links to hard-to-find 19th century
resources that are online. I personally spent over 100 hours combing
through data bases, looking for many of these links.
In 2002 the Maestros of the International Masters at
Arms Federation (IMAF) recognized my work in this area, and asked me
to join their organization as an Acknowledged Instructor for the 19th
Century American martial arts.
