The Twilight Knights Renaissance Guild was originally founded in Moraga, CA, in 1997 by Benjamin B. Hsu as the Twilight Knights Fencing Club. Since then, we have become a full-fledged fully functional working Renaissance Guild that performs in conventions, shows and fairs.

Benjamin B. Hsu is the guild director. He is a certified weapons master with the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), a member of the American Jousting Alliance, a former competitor in the United States Fencing Alliance and a long-time stage fighting director. He has been teaching freestyle fencing, stage fighting and 16th century combat techniques for over ten years.
