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. Students do not need any prior knowledge to participate in this class.

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 discretion if they allow their learners to watch them.

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.
