About Us

Welcome to Synergy Sword Arts, your premier destination for sword fighting in Colorado Springs.

The Synergy Sword Arts community gathered together in the training hall

We teach an extensive variety of historical, modern, and traditional weapon-based martial arts, along with practical self-defense and hand-to-hand combat systems. With more weapon training diversity than any other school in the world, we offer an unmatched opportunity to explore and master a wide range of combat disciplines under one roof.

Our programs include Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), featuring weapons such as the longsword, rapier, saber, sword and shield, smallsword, polearms, and many other historical weapons. We also offer instruction in modern Olympic and sport fencing disciplines, including épée and foil.

For those interested in Japanese martial arts, Synergy Sword Arts teaches traditional Japanese swordsmanship, including Kenjutsu, Iaijutsu, Battojutsu, Iaido, and other classical Japanese weapons and martial traditions.

In addition, we provide training in armored combat, self-defense, knife fighting, stick fighting, axe fighting, and other Western martial arts systems.

We combine historical and modern knowledge from combat sources around the world to create synergy and understanding for martial artists and weapon enthusiasts of all experience levels.

Beyond our martial arts programs, Synergy Sword Arts is also a community training and event center. We host birthday parties, date nights, private events, youth group events, and corporate experiences. Whether you're looking for a unique celebration or an unforgettable group activity, we can customize an event that's both exciting and memorable.

We also offer fitness classes, yoga, nutrition coaching, personalized workout programs, open gym access, and advanced athletic performance testing. Using high-tech equipment, we measure and track key performance metrics such as reaction time, speed, power, agility, and explosive performance, allowing us to monitor athletes' progress with objective data. Whether you're training for fencing, another sport, or simply looking to improve your overall athleticism, our technology helps identify strengths, measure improvement, and optimize performance. Members can also use our training facility during designated open gym hours to work out, practice techniques, drill with training partners, improve conditioning, or simply stay active—even when classes are not in session.

On top of having some of the best fencers and instructors in the world, we also host exclusive seminars featuring world-class competitors and martial artists from across the globe.

At Synergy Sword Arts, we provide group classes and private lessons for students of all experience levels, from complete beginners to advanced competitors. Whether you're looking to learn for competition, recreation, self-defense, stage combat, acting, personal growth, fitness, or simply to experience the art of swordsmanship, we have a program for you.

Our classes focus on strong fundamentals, improving agility and reaction speed, refining technique, developing strategy, and applying it all through live training. Our curriculum also includes unique fighting styles taught only at our school.
