SITS Sword in the Scroll Fencing Academy

Category: German Study

Drew Page and Ken Johnson, founders of WSTR, began training in unarmored longsword combat in 1997. After several years of training, they chose to teach a couple of introductory classes for Mansfield Parks & Recreation. Their students asked them repeatedly to find a way to continue training beyond the twelve-week course. Eventually, Drew and Ken found a way to start teaching classes on their own. WSTR (read as “wah-ster”) officially began in November of 2004. In 2007, WSTR longsword and WSTR Fencing were finally joined at their new home in Willimantic – now called Sword in the Scroll Fencing Academy.
