Big Changes at VWMAA! - we are back to training in person (outdoors), and have switched to a new booking system to make joining a class even easier! https://mailchi.mp/f5037450d2ad/big-changes-at-vwmaa

Over the next week or two, we'll be updating our website to get a new scheduling/payment system up and running, and tweaking our class calendar to account for instructor resources and the shift of some of our classes to outdoor, in-person training.
The current booking system will be up in the meantime, but information may be spotty and there might be some brief outages to our site itself.
All current students will be kept up-to-date on important changes via email and internal announcements.
If you're a new/prospective student, please watch this space for announcements, sign up for our newsletter, or email us at [email protected] for the most current details.
Thanks for your patience! We're excited to keep growing with you all.

It is finally park playtime season! A few of us got together for some slow play and sparring outdoors this weekend. It was so wonderful to play with swords in person.
Stay tuned for announcements about more outdoor training opportunities before summer's end!
