Sioux Falls Sword Academy

Sioux Falls Sword Academy, located at 1516 South Sycamore Avenue in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is the perfect place to improve both your mind and body in an exciting and empowering way. We offer classes for both kids and adults in Japanese Kendo and classical epee fencing, led by skilled instructors who will guide you on a journey of self-improvement and discipline as you learn the art of the sword.

In our one-handed fencing classes, using a flexible metal sword, students are able to score with a thrust to any part of an opponent. For adults, experience the thrill of classical fencing with an epee, learning techniques and strategies while building coordination, endurance, and mental focus.

For kids who are ready to become sword-wielding warriors, our kids fencing class is the perfect starting point. They will learn the basics of this exciting art while having fun and making new friends.

In our two-handed Japanese "Fencing" classes, using a bamboo sword (shinai) and protective armor (bogu), participants will experience the tradition and discipline of Japanese Kendo. Kendo focuses on pursuing clear and purposeful technique in the face of a resisting partner, encouraging self-refinement through the study of the sword.

Join us at Sioux Falls Sword Academy to embark on a journey of self-improvement, discipline, and the art of the sword.
