Want to learn how to sword fight? Then sign up for a swashbuckling class that starts April 26 as part of the city of Kent’s recreation program at the Kent Memorial Park building, 850 Central Ave. N.
The class features nine sessions each Monday through June 28, except for May 31. The cost is $90. Participants must be at least 16 years old.
Instructor Greg Michaels has been a sword-fighting instructor for more than 20 years. Participants only need to bring a thin pair o gardening-type gloves to the class. Michaels provides the swords and lessons.
Michaels teaches hand-to-hand theatrical combat, including slaps, kicks and punches, as well as sword play with a broadsword and rapier.
