“I find a passion for the sword, in that it symbolizes honor, justice, and protection, which are all part of my life’s mission.” – Aaron Pynenberg



The goals of the program include:

-Learning the basics of longsword practice, how to begin and continue your training with limited practice partners or even none!

-Discover drills and exercises to help understand and practice historical sword combat.

-Allowing the art to be fun and informative!

-Improving your game if you are already studying the art.

This program will be tailored to the individual and will guide you on a path of discovery that will continue even after the training concludes.

“This class aims to suit everyone, I have extensive knowledge and training in how best to structure a class in combatives, and you will leave on Sunday feeling refreshed and motivated, not bogged down and beaten!”- Aaron Pynenberg
