Notice: Class has been cancelled for this Sunday the 26th

04/14/2026

Two quick updates!

1) The start time for the Novice Synthetic Longsword event on Saturday has been moved from 1pm to 2pm. This will give the event and our volunteers more time and space to accommodate the expanded Open Steel Longsword event starting that morning.

2) If you are competing in any afternoon-start events (WURG or 45+ Longsword on Friday, Novice Synthetic Longsword on Saturday), then your gear check will open 2 hours before the start time for the event.
This does NOT mean that you MUST be there 2 hours early in order to compete. We will just not be checking gear for those events earlier than that time.

Hello! No class this Sunday the 5th. Resuming usual class next Sunday the 12th, 2-4pm.

Have a great weekend everyone!

We have decided to play it safe so class is cancelled for today due to the weather!

Congrats to everyone who powered through our Ringen unit! 🤼‍♂️

​Starting this coming Sunday(3/1), we are moving onto the Meyer Rappier "Sidesword" for Spring.

​Now is the perfect time to join us for a new unit. If you’re new and want to try it out, we have loaner gear available. Workout attire is recommended, something you can comfortably lunge and squat in for this unit. Bring a liquid to hydrate yourself with!

​When: Sundays | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
​Where: Surge Martial Arts, Germantown

​See you all on Sunday! ⚔️
