Slings and Arrows

New York friends, this looks like a really cool opportunity! Lionheart does great work, and the martial traditions of Africa deserve more recognition.

We're happy to announce our first workshop of 2024:

Theatrical Nimcha! This exploratory-level class will introduce concepts unique to SWANA saber techniques and how to safely adapt them for use in theatrical spaces.

Students will learn about the history of the weapon and how to showcase and respect the culture behind it with a performative flair.

Prior stage combat experience is not required. However, it is HIGHLY recommended that students have at least some basic training under their belt.

Muppets or Mercutio?

This week, we study how a fight builds in tension before, during, and after it starts. How does the fight advance the story? Who is your character, what do they want - and can they fight? Do they want to?

Join us on Saturday to study how changing the logic of a fight can change whether it's riveting - or just ridiculous. ⚔
