IMPORTANT! Restrictions Exemption Program in effect!
Once again, Alberta has declared a state of public state of health emergency. COVID cases and hospitalizations have continued to rise, and as of September 16th new measures are being implemented that will effect the future of The Forge. In keeping compliant with provincial mandates, The Forge has implemented a Restrictions Exemption Program (REP). As […]
Summer Classes Return!
With the province reopening in July, The Forge is happy to announce the return of our summer classes! We look forward to seeing new and returning faces to the club as we enter into Summer 2021 and hopefully a return to regular training inside the community hall in the Fall. Before joining, there’s a few […]
See you in the New Year!
Well, we did as much as we could on our part to navigate through the pandemic this year. And though we had a good plan to resume indoor training, we knew as the second wave surged and engulfed Alberta, the decision to halt training for the rest of the year was inevitable. So, let’s enjoy […]
Class registration for November is open!
As we move back indoors for the winter, we have to adapt around covid-19 precautions and so are limited in our class capacity to 12 attendees maximum. Therefore, we have a pre-registration available, so anyone who wishes to attend either a Tuesday or Thursday class, has to sign up and pay fees. The system works […]

Tim opened up Tuesday training again, where he is walking us through Richard Marsden’s book on Polish Sabre, as well as breaking […]
Swinging swords throughout the summer
As our community is still faced with the reality of Covid-19, The Forge has adapted our training to accommodate safe distancing measures. Therefore, we are only providing individual training in an outdoor, group setting, which means no sparring and no partner drills and always remaining at least two longsword-lengths away from each other! We have […]
Outdoor training to begin in late June!
We will restart routine group training outdoors, as the city’s re-opening allows us to. We are setting the first date for June 20th and then June 25th, but depending on how events unfold, the date may change to earlier or later. Training will last 1.5 hours long. There will be modifications to our typical training […]
COVID-19 cancels all our fun
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the board has decided to cancel our annual HEMA tournament, Anvil, which was scheduled in June. These have been sad, slow days during the lockdown and there are many of us who miss our weekly training classes. We also missed being a part of Calgary’s Comic Expo and our first […]
