Provost (martial arts)
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. In the London-based "Corporation of Masters of the Noble Science of Defence", or "Company of Masters", Provost was the third of four ranks, the others being Scholar, Free Scholar, and Master. A Free Scholar could not be accredited as a Provost until they have studied under a registered Master for seven years (though this time requirement was occasionally shortened). Acquiring the rank of Provost required a grueling Prize Playing with a variety of swords and other weapons, followed by a formal oath. Provosts were allowed to accept students and open their own fighting schools.
Provost is also used as a rank in the Association for Renaissance Martial Arts, which bases its ranking system on that of the London Company of Masters..
