Testimonials

Boston | Corporate Event

I enjoyed attending the fitness session, and learning how to told the Bokken. Since people were from all different levels of fitness, I believe the class should have been broken up by those different levels to make each group more challenging. Perhaps rather than trying to accomplish 3 different sessions in one day, break it down to several days and have a specific focus for each day. Or state what type of fitness level is needed for each of the classes. For an experience Book Now

If You Could Dance With Fred Astaire, Would You?

I was particularly impressed by the sheer volume of time that was spent with the group as a whole, and the ability to take a group or varied skill levels through the entire exercise. It was definitely worth it, and I look forward to participating again. This is a unique opportunity and truly an experience.The hands on, one-on-one instruction you receive from both Adrian and his assistant instructors is top notch, and personalized to the individual at any skill level.

"If You Could Dance With Fred Astaire, Would You?"

It exceeded my expectations, and I went in with high expectations. Calling it a Experience is exactly what it was. This isn’t a panel at a Con, a seminar,on swords and choreography, or a meet in greet.It was a Experience where you actually learn and perform skills, that you can build on if you choose to. Awesome fun! The Sword Experience is just that an experience, something beyond just meeting my favorite actor.
