Getting started with the Appalachian Sword Club is easy:
Contact Us: Reach out via our Facebook page or group to stay updated on practices and events.
Join a Practice: Practices are held every Sunday at 2:00 PM (weather permitting) at Jack Benson Heritage Park 1428 Jenkins Rd, Chattanooga, TN 37421 .
Complete a Waiver: New participants will need to fill out a waiver at their first practice.
What to Bring: No gear is required to start—we have loaner equipment available. However, we recommend wearing good shoes, work gloves, and bringing water. If you’re ready to invest in your own equipment, we’re happy to provide reputable sources and recommendations.
Our club is proud to welcome people from all walks of life. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced martial artist, we provide a supportive environment to learn and grow. Members of all ages, genders, and backgrounds are part of our community. No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to learn and have fun. We train at no cost to members because we believe martial arts should be accessible to everyone.
