Looking to train in person or meet fellow sword enthusiasts in your area?

Don’t see a group near you? Consider starting one! Many of our members begin by meeting just one or two fellow students in their area. The Academy can provide guidance for setting up a local study group – feel free to contact us if you’re interested in starting a practice group.
