What You Will Do

"A sword is not just a weapon; it is a culture, a discipline, and an art." Throughout history, on the battlefields that shaped civilizations, swords were more than mere weapons—they were symbols of honor, strength, and strategy. From samurais to knights, Ottoman sipahis to Viking warriors, the sword was the most refined tool of the martial arts across different cultures. Are you ready to witness the history of this mystical weapon, discover its techniques, and follow in the footsteps of the masters? Workshop Content This special workshop offers a unique experience by exploring the art of swordsmanship from a historical perspective through both theoretical and practical training.
