Classes
We Have Swords!
We Have Swords!
Classes begin with a short warmup and light stretching. Not only do we focus on how to use a sword, but we make sure students are educated on how to use their bodies effectively. We do drills, forms, sparring, historical research, and so much more.

Students can expect a good work out and clear instruction. We believe sparring is an invaluable tool for any martial artist, and students are encouraged to spar after obtaining approval from our instructors. Safety is a top priority in everything we do.
Our Studio
#1 2909 S Dobson, Mesa, AZ, 85202
We have a brand new studio designed for and dedicated to the study of Historical European Martial Arts. We're very proud of our studio as it provides a space to study, spar, and hang out. We offer a medieval list for fighting, a small library, large open floor for training, and a welcoming seating area for visitors and members. Our studio also has exceptional rubber flooring with foam padding underneath to provide an optimal training surface that's easy on the joints. We've also got a mini fridge full of cold water and an unusual amount of Sour Patch Kids candy.
There is ample parking, wheel chair accessibility, and a well lit parking lot after dark. You'll find us next to the Sonic and directly behind the Vet Clinic. We hope to see you soon!
