CLASS

SINGLE SWORD CLASS

Come learn how to parry and slash like a swashbuckling pirate! This class will teach you how to safely put danger on the stage to keep your audience on the edge of their seats — something you’ll get to do by performing a short scene at the end of the course.

In this class, you will learn the basic concepts of single sword stage combat including:

• The importance of safety and consent

• Levels and types of attacks

• Ways to defend yourself

• Character choices in the heat of battle

• On- and off-line footwork

• Sword maintenance

• Wounds and kills

You will need to bring your own gloves (e.g., batting, gardening) by the second class to help maintain swords and help with grip.
