Client Testimonials

"Bladefit Academy has made learning sword fighting both fun and cool. Coach Nate is a very good teacher, knowledgeable, kind and helpful. There's great camaraderie in class -- never a dull moment. My daughter has learned a lot and continues to enjoy taking lessons every week. We are very happy we found Bladefit Academy."

Charlie Cava

"Swords? That's just like a LARP or DnD thing right? Well, generally I would say yes. However BladeFit showed me so much more about that than I thought was available. I had never thought about HEMA as a Martial Art, but now I understand what the old books meant about a code or why Bushido was so important and how beautiful swordsmanship can be. If you like stuff in general then I would say you're missing out on something most of us didn't even know existed. A great place to learn and a great place to just be yourself in a community oriented environment. Kids, Adults and any combination in between are welcome and encouraged to come check it out! Come be a part of the family that is BladeFit Academy!"
