The programme
What Is Creative Sword?
Creative Sword is a new programme at Urban Combat: expressive, choreographed weapon-forms training using practice swords, built around technique, control and performance rather than combat sparring. It develops coordination, discipline and confidence, and sits naturally alongside the karate foundations already taught at Urban Combat.
Beginners
Is This Suitable for Beginners?
Yes. No prior weapons or martial arts experience is required, and current Urban Combat students in any other discipline can add Creative Sword straight onto their existing schedule.
