The following are generally and publicly known places to receive training in the use of combat tactics and techniques (i.e. Exploits).
- The Field of Triumph: The gladiatorial trainers and champions of the arena are considered some of the finest teachers of the fighting arts. Many gladiators maintain sidelines teaching adventurers and others tactical techniques.
- Noble Fighting Schools: A variety of the noble houses maintain salles where they formally teach dueling and other fighting arts to paying students.
- Underground Fighting Circles: Like the more public fighters of the Field of Triumph, many of the fighters of the various underground fighting arenas also make coin outside of the ring by teaching those who are interested in learning.
- Mercenary Companies: Though companies do not themselves teach outsiders, the veterans and drill officers of many mercenary companies do occasionally take on a student outside of the company, if the pay is right.
- The Waterdeep Guard: Like mercenary companies, the Guard maintains a body of instructors to teach its troops, some of whom are amenable to taking on students outside of their professional hours.
- Adventurers & Sellswords: Many adventurers and sellswords have long patches of time between their normal contracts or tasks, and seek to fill that time and their purses by taking on students in the fighting arts.
