Woman drilling with a sword against a spear. Her open hand is reaching for the spear shaft.

It keeps me moving, and I have fun!

I got interested in Western martial arts to improve my frighting/training writing for my fantasy fiction. After getting my start in a college club, I looked around online for a place that put learning above the competitiveness and machismo I’d experienced from other groups. That’s when I found Polaris. I love that their lessons are individualized and flexible depending on your physical ability and comfort level. All the students are super supportive of each other and class discussion is just as important to the school as physical lessons. I would recommend Polaris to anyone who wants to learn about swords and just have fun

I like Polaris because is provides a welcoming and safe atmosphere to experiment with unfamiliar styles in. There’s a great culture of learning that makes sharing what I’ve learned with classmates an excellent way to gain new insight.
