Edge project overview:

To teach SUU students, Cedar City community members, or anyone the basics of swordsman ship. Whether you want to learn a new self defense technique or just do it for fun, swordsmanship is a great skill to pick up for anything you can apply it to.

How do we train? The SUU Full Contact Boffering Club immerses you into the martial art of melee combat via mock weaponry. Mock Weaponry? Sounds like LARP. Correction: This is not LARP, it is the training and simulation of melee combat. This is a practice for safety and control and there is no magic or role playing involved, or dressing up.
( However if you want to then no one is stopping you.)

Times to meet: Tuesdays and Wednsdays at 6:00-7:30 PM. Via indoor or outdoor areas.

Outdoor areas:
The SUU upper campus by the Adams theater field
The SUU lower campus on the multipurpose field

Indoor areas:

SUU Combat room
SUU Gym Floor where basketball courts are
SUU Multipurpose Gym

This is free for anyone who wants to join, no payments just sign a waiver and experience free swordsmanship training. ( However if you want a custom sword that wont be free ).
