Are you a fan of Forge in Fire? Do you love to learn about weapons, how they are made, and how they were used in combat? If so then this class is for you. 

In this course students will be introduced to weapons that were created from forges. They will receive an in-depth knowledge of how these blades were made and what how they were used in combat. 

Students will recreate the weapons by using Playdoh/Clay. As they create their best rendition of the weapon they will also learn the history behind the weapon. Students will then be able to share their creations with their classmates.

Parental Guidance: 
This class does discuss hand held forge weapons (knives, swords, etc) and how they were used. Topics may be sensitive for some learners but all will be age appropriate. 

After class students will have access to videos that show the weapons' they learned about in class being made and tested. These weapons will be tested on bamboo, rope, sandbags, gel torsos, and some may slash animal carcasses. Each video will properly be labeled and it will be the parents/guardians discretion if they allow their learners to watch them. Please note these videos will be introduced in class but will not be watched in class. 

*This class will still be taught with only one learner. Parents will be notified if no other learners have enrolled 24 hours prior to class, confirming that their learner is comfortable with a one on one class.  Cancelation due to low enrollment is at the discretion of the parent only. I, the teacher, will not cancel the class due to low enrollment. *
