At our tournament this weekend we had the pleasure of promoting two of our students to assistant instructors! Byron and Mackenzie will be joining Matt, John, and Jason on the coaching team at NHF. Congratulations to them! ⚔️

We also gave our current assistant instructor Jason a much overdue certificate of achievement for his previous promotion as well!

We had an absolutely insane turnout at our open house last night! We had over 60 attendees participate in our intro to both Longsword and Sabre.

Thank you to all of our students who assisted in keeping the open house running smoothly, we couldn't have done it without you!

Our free open house is tomorrow! It runs from 7PM to 9PM at Governor Simcoe Secondary School (entrance at the back). No registration or experience needed, just show up and we'll show you how to swordfight!
