This incredible location we have selected for you was built in 1747. The Farm House was originally the Freeman Family home and has been refurbished to maintain its history while offering luxurious guest suites for you to relax in while taking in the spectacular views. \nWe have created wonderful all-inclusive packages that include everything you might need for an exciting Sword Experience retreat weekend. There will be seminars from stunt and entertainment professionals. Sword cutting displays\, sword training\, accommodations\, meals\, and all non-alcoholic drinks\, along with a professionally cut video and photos for you to keep. \nBut that’s not all. As a reminder of the weekend\, you will also receive a unique retreat bokken\, along with other unique items in a SXP gift bag valued at more than $170. \nSo we look forward to seeing you at our first 2022 retreat at Tusculum Farm. For more details on all our packages please see below\, but don’t delay because spaces are limited and are on a first come basis.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”WORKSHOP CONTENT”]“Emotional Content for Action Heroes” – Dylan Hintz \nIn this workshop you will work on the basics of using unarmed combat with out-of-distance punches and reactions for the camera. There will also be a “Danger Zone” & “Movement Provocation” section where you will be asymmetrically armed and practice out-of-distance dodges and attacks. The goal of this workshop is to help you build up partnering\, cuing\, and “action acting” skills\, and to increase your ability to maintain presence and awareness of your situation through both choreographed and randomized attack patterns. \nVisualizing Your Reality – Adrian Paul \nAdrian Paul has created a short unique kata for the SXP retreat that he will teach in a minimum of two sessions during the Saturday program. The movements taken from the Sword Experience numbering system will then have added intentions added\, switching from one direction to another as is fighting real opponents. By understanding attack angles and visualizing opponents\, will not only give the kata a realistic look\, but allow you to react to real or choreographed situations more effectively. \nThe Edge of Reality – JB Jaeger \nThis training session will allow you to experience the exigencies of actual fighting through a series of counter-for-counter drills that evolve into a free flow. You will come away understanding the emotions that you experience in actual competition or fighting. You will learn how to deal with the fear of the unknown and act in the moment. You will also experience how certain angles\, defenses\, and responses work together. All of this will give your choreography design and performance…the edge of reality. \nThe Art of The Cut – Details to follow[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”RETREAT PERKS BREAKDOWN”]FULL RETREAT Participants Staying at Tusculum \nSigned photo\nPhoto with AP\nSXP Gift Bag + Unique Retreat bokken (worth more than $170)\n2-night Accommodation\n“Edge of Reality” Seminar – JB\n“Emotional Content for Action Heroes” – Dylan Hintz\nSXP training – Adrian Paul\nSword Cutting display – Chris Fields\nFilm Fight Insights Movie night\nAll non alcoholic drinks\nAll meals\nProfessionally Cut video\nProfessional Photos included \n  \nFor accommodation\, we are using the 3 houses on the farm and that’s how our tickets are divided: \n\nThe Farm House/Main House: https://www.tusculumfarm.com/stay/the-main-house/\nThe Carriage House: https://www.tusculumfarm.com/stay/the-carriage-house/\nThe Coop: https://www.tusculumfarm.com/stay/the-coop/\n\nFULL RETREAT (without accomodation) \nSigned photo\nPhoto with AP\nSXP Gift Bag + Unique Retreat bokken (worth more than $170)\nEdge of Reality Seminar – JB\n“Emotional Content for Action Heroes” – Dylan Hintz\nSXP training – Adrian Paul\nSword Cutting display – Chris Fields\nFilm Fight Insights Movie night\nAll non-alcoholic drinks\nAll meals\nProfessionally Cut video\nProfessional Photos included\nSelected meals (Friday Dinner\, Saturday Lunch\, Sunday Breakfast) \nMaryland One-Day (Saturday) Ticket \nSigned photo\nPhoto with AP\nUnique Retreat bokken (worth $90)\nEdge of Reality Seminar – JB\n“Emotional Content for Action Heroes” – Dylan Hintz\nSXP training – Adrian Paul\nSword Cutting display\nAll non-alcoholic drinks\nLunch and Snacks\nProfessionally Cut video\nProfessional Photos[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”EVENT DETAILS & RESTRICTIONS:”] \n\nAll Participants must READ\, DIGITALLY SIGN\, & SUBMIT the following three forms before purchase:\n1. TERMS & CONDITIONS\n2. RELEASE OF LIABILITY\n3. IMAGE RELEASE\nNo photos or videos are allowed during the Sword event.\nParticipants must be 18 years old. 15-18 years olds can participate with parental consent and a minimum height of 4 feet\, 6 inches tall. PARENTAL CONSENT FORMS must be filled out and submitted prior to the event.\nPhotos taken by The Sword Experience staff will be sent and posted after the event for participants to download.Learn about Payment Plan options through PayPal Credit HERE.\nPlease note that an additional 7% service fee will be reflected at checkout.\nOur Return Policy is listed under Terms of Use page.\n\n[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”COVID-19 Safety Guidelines”] \n\nThese are the COVID-19 Safety Guidelines for all Sword Experience events to be followed until the foreseeable future.\n1.

According to Maryland government historical records\, “The oldest part of the house is known to be the principal stone wing\, though the frame attached to it may occupy the site of an earlier log structure\, and even incorporate aspects of it into its walls. Tradition holds that the original log house on the property was built in 1747 by Henry Griffith. The stone wing (today’s main block) was added circa 1797.” \n[/vc_column_text]\n\n	 THE FARM HOUSE Bee Hive 2 bed-room\n	From: $4\,900.00\nSold By: Best Sword Fighting Techniques\nSelect options	\n		This product has multiple variants.
