News & Events

Our first intensive class of the year had a focus on our longsword curriculum that we get from the Chicago Swordplay Guild, and was taught by Greg Mele (Dean of CSG). There was a specific focus on some of the longsword plays and we were able to look at them a little closer than we do during our regular class time. The ability to do this will be helpful for those students who are looking to advance past the novice level curriculum.

We had our first demonstration of 2026 this weekend! We love coming to ConStellation each year to speak with attendees throughout the weekend and share some of the martial art we study and love (as well as spinning the Wheel of Mortality and getting some silly weapon match-ups - spear vs. a stick anyone?)

The guild held our 3rd annual Fancy Party this weekend! It's always fun to get a chance to hang out with everyone outside of the usual classes and sparring nights, and this particular event is great for wearing those clothes you don't usually get to wear because the outfit would be "too much" anywhere else. We're already looking forward to the next one!
