Getting Started

Joining is easy! We don’t have a membership fee, and class fees are optional. We want everyone who wants to attend to be able to. A donation of $5 or $10 dollars per class is recommended, but optional, and helps us maintain our loaner gear and liability insurance.

If you’re planning on attending your first class, please contact us via email or text at [email protected] or 720 934-6890 to let us know. All you need is some comfortable “exercise” clothes and a good attitude. Complete beginners are welcome and we have loaner gear available…(for sparring and some higher intensity drills, you’ll need to bring an athletic cup depending on body type).

We use a variety of simulators, including blunt steel swords. Sparring is always optional. We are practicing a martial art and the occasional bumps and bruises will occur. Serious injuries are very rare in our sport, but are possible.

Especially when you’re getting to know your club-mates, communication is very important. When you’re ready for sparring, you should talk to your sparring partner about what level of intensity you would like. It’s important to check in with each other during sparring as well to make sure both parties are comfortable with the intensity.
