The Forge: Western Martial Arts

The Forge: Western Martial Arts Welcome to The Forge Western Martial Arts. We focus on combat conditioning, skills in the above areas, and camaraderie!

We are a non-profit martial arts club that specializes in Historical European Martial Arts, as well as modern practical self defence techniques. The Forge is a Western Martial Arts (WMA) school that focuses on:

- Striking
- Grappling / Wrestling
- Knife
- German Shortsword
- German Longsword
- Modern Combatives and Self Defense

Our club vision is:

"To create a world where Western Martial Arts

is the dominant martial art." Our club mission is:

"To be the premiere WMA school on Earth by:

- Demonstrating life saving skills that can be applied in day-to-day scenarios

- Fostering development in the duality of the lethal art of WMA without
compromise”

Our curriculum and training reflect this mission. Class schedule:
