Have you ever wondered
what it would have been like to have the skills like your favorite hero or
villain you watch in the movies or games? Like Game of Thrones, Lord of the
Rings, Star Wars, Ect. Have you ever
wanted to learn something different than what anyone else learns? Have you ever
wanted to do something unique and be a part of a group that teaches you sword
fighting? Well SUU Full Contact Boffering club offers that experience to those
questions, whether you want to just learn a new skill, have fun, socialize with
others, or learn a self defense technique the SUU Full Contact Boffering group
offers these experiences, people will be taught basic swordsmanship, team
building tactics, as well as belonging to a common group. My goal with this
project is for people to come who want to learn a new skill and have fun with
it and be a part of a club within the SUU community. Though this is strictly a
recreational activity the point for it is for SUU students to have a chance to
do something that will help them have an outlet as well give them an
opportunity for socializing and having fun within their busy student schedules.
From 9/12/2017 til 12/05/2017 The club will hold at least 40 hours worth of
practice for those who are interested to join. The club is a contact sport, but
it is very safe with scenario type weaponry. The weaponry consist of high
contact foam that wont hurt anyone as well as proper techniques that will
ensure safety. I have sword fought for almost 14 years with experience and am
willing to teach a few people who want to learn and have fun. The practices
will be held on Tuesdays, Wednesday, and a community practice on Saturdays,
each practice is for about an hour in a half, but students or whoever don’t
need to stay around the whole time, its encouraged for others to join and have
fun when they come over all. So Join with SUU Full Contact Boffering Group if
you are looking for something fun and unique to do!
