Hi sword friends, Just a heads-up: at tonight's class (Mon Sept 26th) we are likely to have a journalist from The Daily Nutmeg (https://dailynutmeg.com/) joining us and taking some photos. If that makes you uncomfortable, let me know at the start of class, and we can keep you out of shot! Also: bonus points for…

We will be training as usual on Monday 4th July. I know many of our regulars will have to miss class. But sucks to be them, because we will be having fun without them 🙂 Wishing everyone a great holiday, whether or not you can make it!

So, as I mentioned in class last night, next month there's going to be a really fun *cutting with sharp swords* event right here in CT, not so far from New Haven. I think this will be a lot of fun, and is definitely worth making time for. If you've never tried cutting tatami and/or…

Hi everyone. I'm afraid I have some poor news: it's come to my attention that one of the students who attended our class last Monday night (Mon May 2nd) has tested positive for COVID. It's not clear if the student was infected & infectious when they were in class on Monday night, but it's possible.…

People should come to class in whatever makes…

This Monday night we have a really great little special event planned - a guest class taught by the brilliant Jeff Tsay! Please do come if you can - I think it will be a blast. (Please note that due to a stuff-up on my part, I originally said that this was going to happen…

In two weeks (Saturday, April 2nd) there is going to be a big sparring day for members of all the local CT clubs. It should be a lot of fun! It's hosted by Jason L. Cook (the coach of our sibling-club Exiles new England), which means it'll be in Milford, which is pretty close to…

Hi Fencers, I'm writing with some great news: on Monday, Feb 14th, we will finally get back to training! Hooray for that - it will be great to see everyone again. (Yes, that's Valentine's Day. Yes, swords are very romantic) I also have some less good news: given the omicron situation, and the requirements of…

Dear sword friends, I'm very sad to say it, but with COVID rates still being pretty much at their peak in New Haven right now, I've decided to cancel class for the next two weeks. Sorry to everyone who is disappointed by this (I am, too)!One a more positive note, the medical folks are predicting…
