Are you worried that starting a martial art would be overwhelming, complex, or difficult?
No prior martial experience is necessary. Did you know that over 60% of our students start with zero experience in martial arts? It's true! Our program welcomes beginners, and our largest demographic is made up of adults who are interested in martial arts that align with their passion for fantasy or history. Furthermore, 90% of them choose to continue their training into fitness, medieval combat, all while forging enduring friendships along the way.
We understand that starting something new can be intimidating, especially when it comes to martial arts and historical combat. That's why we prioritize creating a supportive and inclusive environment where beginners can feel comfortable and confident in their learning journey. Throughout the program, you'll gradually learn basic hews, footwork, and defensive techniques, building a solid foundation for your skills. Our curriculum is carefully structured to ensure a progressive and systematic approach.
This means experiencing less frustration while getting stronger through learning how to fight and having fun along the way!

Getting medieval
Wielding a sword is not only an exciting journey into the world of historical combat but also a fantastic way to improve your overall fitness. At Bastion, our dynamic training program combines technique drills, with contextual learning, and sparring. With each swing, parry, and riposte, you engage your entire body in a full-body workout that combines strength, endurance, agility, and mental focus.
Training at Bastion goes beyond the physical aspects of swordsmanship. We believe in fostering mental focus, concentration, and strategic thinking. The learning and application of historical techniques engages you to stay present, react quickly, and adapt to different opponents and situations.
On top of our main training program in medieval combat, we offer a physical training program known as Bashfit. As historical combat can be demanding, it's crucial to develop a strong mind and body. Bashfit focuses on improving your fitness by developing the muscles around key joints to prevent injuries from overexertion and enhance strength and power. The result is increased effectiveness and endurance when wielding a sword!

"I thought it was a pretty geeky sport, didn't realize how much muscle and stamina you need for swordfighting! After coming to Bastion, I have defined biceps now, which attests to how strength-building swordfighting is. It's not a geeky sport, it's BADASS. And a very cool skill to have! It's a nice way to socialize, I build strength while swordfighting, and I get to take photos of me wielding pretty cool swords."

"Before coming to Bastion, I thought that swordfighting was complex and difficult to learn. Now, it's still very complex but learning it is actually not as hard as I thought, though pulling off the moves take more skill than previously thought. I have gotten a good understanding of how weapons are used, a great workout, and it is great fun in general."
