We are a martial arts gym that trains people to fight in armor. We teach a full range of combat techniques including hand to hand and weapons. We also train fitness and teamwork. We prioritize safety while we train, and understanding how to do the techniques.
Fighting in armor is both difficult and rewarding, and the training reflects that. While we work hard, we strive to meet each student at their level and help them grow the skills needed, as well as the physical fitness required.
Our billing is month-to-month so you can cancel any time. Come check us out!
Here are some frequently asked questions:
- Do I need armor to train?
- NO! You do not need armor to begin training. We do most of our training out of armor, and we have some loaner equipment we can put you in before you buy your own
- What do I need to bring to train?
- Bring a water bottle, wear comfortable clothes, and groin protection if you have it
- Do I need martial arts experience?
- No prior training of any kind is needed. Even if you have prior training, armor changes things significantly, so much of it may change
- I’m not in very good shape. Can I do this, or do I have to get into shape first?
- We will get you into shape. All we ask of our students is for them to push themselves, and we have modifications for every exercise to make them easier or harder
- Where do I get armor?
- Mostly from Ukraine and Russia. There are makers that are good, and many that are not. DO NOT buy from Etsy. We will help you find a good maker
- Is armor expensive?
- Yes, but the soft stuff we train in is not. This gives you the ability to buy pieces of armor and train at the same time
- Can my kid train with the adults?
- Yes, and they often do, though they do not put on steel.
