Classes

You want Western Martial Arts Classes?  Well, do you?!  …Ok, just checking.  ’Cause if you were looking for knitting, you’ve come to the wrong webpage.  Yeah, something went seriously wrong there.

But, if you’re looking for WMA classes, CombatCon is your place for the action!  We’re proud to announce the following classes.  Check out each link for a class description.  And, for a peek at the Schedule, click here!

We offer all manner of Western Martial Arts classes, in a wide range of weapons, systems and styles! From classes in stage/screen combat to the deadly and beautiful art of Spanish Knife, you’ll be taught by some of the best instructors in the world.

If you’d rather watch and not participate, then no problem!  Check out our fantastic demonstrations, and gaze in amazement as knights in armor clash, pirates fight with knives and cutlasses, and “helpless victims” fend off the zombie horde — just to name of a few of things you’ll see!  And of course, convention attendees are also welcome to observe classes as well.
