Currently we park in the parking lot after the 5th speed bump.
Once you are parked walk around the house like building where you'll find us setting up under the large trees!

You'll notice that we have (somewhat of) a color code system! We ask kindly that only trainers and trainers in training wear red to practices and rehearsals*.
*If for a show your character is to wear red this is nullified*

FROM AMATEUR TO EXPERT

Whether you've never thrown a (fake) punch in your life or you've been wielding swords for over a decade, LANCE has got classes that suit every level of expertise. Our Combat Trainers have honed a curriculum that advances students at their own pace and ensures that safety is always the priority. 

Every student starts training in the Basic Unarmed class, one of the core classes of our curriculum. From there, students work with the Trainers to determine the path that's right for them, proceeding to an Advanced Unarmed Workshop, Basic Sword Class, or Basic Staff Class. Once students have mastered a few of our core classes, they are free to pursue more advanced weapons and styles or become Combat Trainers themselves! 

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE

One of the keys to LANCE's curriculum is its versatility. Beginners can spend all the time they need with the fundamentals of a weapon or style while those who are ready can work their way into training with even the most difficult weapons, like whips and hinged weapons. 

Though our primary fighting style is Modified Western Style, our curriculum is not limited to medieval fighting techniques and weapons. Those interested in fantastical weapons, Eastern-style weapons, or nonstandard weapons can also learn to fight safely using our training program. We are committed to the best experience for our students because we rely on our members to perform at our events. Our Combat Trainers strive to grow the knowledge base of our students in an exciting and safe atmosphere! ​

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

One-on-one attention from Trainers is essential to safely learning stage combat. LANCE Combat Trainers have a keen eye for detail and plenty of experience in both teaching good habits and correcting bad ones. During classes, Trainers take time to work with each student individually on developing the techniques which will be integral to their success as performers and combatants. 

In stage combat, proper footwork, targeting, and handling of weapons are of vital importance. Each of these essentials is taught through doing rather than merely taking notes from a lecture, and correct repetition of these fundamentals builds the strength and endurance necessary for the excellent fighters our LANCE Combat Trainers help their students to become. ​
