The intermediate class is a great place for any one who wants to prepare to compete in tournaments, gain conditioning, burn calories, or just learn the intricacies of sword fighting.

It is optional to skip the warm up/course and just show up for sword drills. We know some people only want to sword fight and thats ok too!
