The Sword Experience is heading to Southern Illinois! We here at the Sword Experience are excited to bring the best fitness and sword training event to this year’s Saluki Con in Carbondale.

Join Adrian Paul at Southern Illinois University for your chance to learn the art of sword handling, sword training, and physical fitness as he teaches you the fight choreography from the episode “Enter the Phoenix” from Into the Badlands.

Discover a community that celebrates all things related to sword culture.

Saluki Con is a unique convention taking place at the Southern Illinois University Student Center. It is the third year of the convention and promises to deliver exciting memories with some of your favorite celebs and artists.

We’re excited to bring the Sword Experience to SIU this year. If you are a student at SIU and have a passion for LARPing, stage combat, and physical fitness, then the Sword Experience is right up your alley.

Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity to learn sword handling and stage combat from one of your favorite action stars, Adrian Paul.

AMC’s hit series Into the Badlands is loosely based on the Chinese tale Journey to the West. After a devastating war leaves humanity in shambles, barons have risen up and taken control of the territories of the United States.

Society has shunned the use of guns due to their destructiveness and now settles disputes with traditional melee weapons and crossbows.

The series follows a warrior, Sunny, and his young companion, M.K., as they search for enlightenment in a feudal society. Discover your own path to enlightenment by becoming Adrian Paul’s “Colt” as he teaches you the fight choreography from this genre-bending series and come one step closer to being a feared “Clipper” in the Badlands.

We cannot wait to bring the Sword Experience to Carbondale and meet with those with a passion for martial arts, swords, and fight choreography.

As with all Con Experiences, you will receive hands on training with Adrian Paul. A professional photographer and videographer will capture every moment for you to take home and share with friends. So,

join us on an adventure that you will cherish for a lifetime….
