An introduction to stage combat using "real" steel swords. This workshop will begin with a lecture on safety practices employed by professional fight folk. Attendees will learn a simple but impressive stage fight which they can perform with a partner. No one to fight with? We will either match you with another attendee or pair you with one of our members. Eye protection will be provided. People who do not receive the safety lecture will NOT be allowed to pick up a sword, so make sure you make it to the beginning!
