Spring Training Schedule!
LANCE Orlando's Spring Training Season is upon us! If you and some friends have ever wanted to learn Stage Combat with Swords, Staves, Spears, Maces, Shields, Frying Pans, and many other weapon (or non-weapon) types, NOW IS THE TIME!
For beginners and newcomers, all training is FREE of charge! LANCE keeps our training free to help educate and entertain while we strive to promote an active creative community. As a note to newcomers, we have all fighters begin training with Unarmed so they can learn the fundamentals of stage combat and choreography before adding in a weapon. If you are a veteran with LANCE already, we have exciting new challenges and concepts for you to enhance and sharpen your skills each week!
The schedule below was created as a GUIDELINE. The main purpose of Spring Training is to help those who are interested in coming out for the first time, or to support those who wish to learn one of our basic weapon types (Sword and Staff) to build up to the weapons they want to work with most. Challenges may or may not go with weekend's focus, and other opportunities for veterans will be dependent on what the veterans would like to work on regardless of the focus of that weekend (depending on the availability and quantity of the Training Team per day). The Training Team is open and interested in hearing your suggestions on what to learn/work on next!
Here is the schedule for our Spring Training season:
All Training is scheduled for 10am - 2pm, at the very back of Cypress Grove Park (290 Holden Ave, Orlando, FL 32839), weather permitting.
As mentioned, the weekends may have a Focus, but they are NOT exclusive to one style or weapon, depending on availability of the Training Team and interest of members present.
Please make sure to bring/do the following before attending!
If you are new to LANCE, you will be asked to fill out some electronic forms including but not limited to a liability waiver, photo release form, and emergency contact/info form.
If you are a veteran of LANCE, please fill out the following short form telling us your previous experience/training with us, and what you are excited for or interested to learn in the coming months and beyond! If you have filled it out once this year, no need to do so again.
We are looking forward to meeting new people and seeing our veterans and friends again! See you soon!

Please make sure to bring/do the following before attending!
- Wear athletic or loose fitting clothing you are comfortable to move in. Trainers wear red, so try to avoid wearing red.

- Full finger workout/working gloves, basic ones you can find at Home Depot/Lowes work great! The main thing is to have some sort of decent grip.
- Water will be provided as supplies last. We recommend bringing your own bottle of water to be safe.
- Eat breakfast. The heat and humidity of the day can sneak up on you very fast even on a cloudy and/or breezy day.

Sword For Hire!Sword for Hire is an ongoing fundraiser that combines LANCE’s desire to share our culture with our ambition to grow our armory. You can choose from several weapon types and donate the price of the weapon (including a little bit extra toward its upkeep), thus adding another weapon to LANCE’s armory. In exchange, we offer you naming rights for the weapon and the ability to track its progress over the course of its life with LANCE.
