Hear ye hear ye! Summer training is upon us!
This summer's schedule is split into 3 blocks. One for each of our branches of Weapon Styles and the workshops stemming from them respectively. We are aware of many events and holidays throughout the season, so we are also planning some flexibility around that. Each block has a “Flex Weekend” which can be used to catch up or review any classes/workshops for the block, or in the event of no expected attendance due to the holidays, it can be used as a buffer as to not disrupt the flow of the other blocks.
Summer Expo
Summer training will have a lot of fantastic effort and energy invested by our amazing members and fighters. With that said, we will be honoring and showcasing that effort with an exhibition at the end of the Training Season. We will be holding the exhibition in front of a ticketed audience, at a time and location to be determined. Participation will be requested, but not required. More details will be announced and explained at a later date.

Join us May 11 & 12! Before you can run, you have to crawl-- and likewise before you can wield any weapon, you must be trained in unarmed. The good news is after only two weeks, some practice, and the okay from our trainers, you can then join us for basic sword or staff this June. Huzzah!
There are no fees associated with any of our training sessions, we're a non profit and rely entirely on donation! When you come to join us for your first Unarmed training, wear comfortable work out clothing, bring sunscreen & water, and if you have a favorite pair of gardening, work, or leather gloves, those too! Though gloves can be provided if needed.
The LANCE Training Chair is AJ Harrett and he is excited to level you up to the combat prowess witnessed in battles at Renaissance Faires.
Unarmed
This is the foundation of our fighting style at LANCE Orlando. All members who wish to learn Stage Combat begin with this class before moving on to other Weapon Styles. We use a style similar to what is commonly seen in Western European and American styles of entertainment.
Sword
After passing Basic Unarmed, one of your options is to move on to Basic Sword. We use a style similar to what is commonly seen in Western European and American styles of entertainment. We only use weapons made and approved for Stage Combat. Forges that have made weapons that we use include Creations (Formerly known as Starfire Swords), Sterling Armory, and Baltimore Knife and Sword.
Staff
After passing Basic Unarmed, another one of your options is to move on to Basic Staff. We use a style similar to what is commonly seen in Western European and American styles of entertainment. Most of our staves are made from 1 ½”- 2” pine dowels, stained and sealed.
Directions
290 Holden Ave, Edgewood, FL 32839
We meet at Cypress Grove Park, near the part where Judy Ct takes a 90 degree bend.
When you enter Cypress Grove Park, follow Judy Ct. till you see the second parking lot on your right. We'll be closest to the end of the parking lot, then if you walk toward the cottage house across from the lake and pier, you'll see a bunch of nerds with swords out in the grass-- that's us!
