ABOUT

We teach three main weapons: the saber, the lance, and the dagger. These are the primary arms that have been carried by Cossack warriors for centuries. These weapons teach fundamental skills with arms and are practiced in a way to continue to honor traditions and heritage of the warriors who came before us.
