gordonach@aol.com (Morgan)
Instructors: Dana Vrsalovich, Morgan Stites
Based out of Hutchinson Middle School and mostly work with kids in the junior high and high school levels for competition in the USFA. We welcome any who would like to practice, there's no fees and we have some equipment, though priority usually goes to the children, so if you have your own equipment please bring it.


We do all three weapons, with more emphasis on foil and some sabre. We meet for practices on most Tuesday nights, health and weather permitting, from about 6 PM till 8 PM. The head coach (Dana Vrsalovich) and I (Morgan Stites) do occasionally do heavy weapons exercises as we are with the Society for Creative Anachronism, so people over the age of 18 with armor can join us in that as well. If you would like to make a donation, since we're always in need of new equipment, especially gloves, and we are a non-profit group so it's tax deductable, email me for more information.
