You'll discover the stories behind historic swords, learn how to hold and move with a blade, practice attacks and defenses, and gradually prepare for your final challenge. Then comes the moment you've been training for: your own sword duel beneath the ancient columns. No glass display cases. No watching history from a distance. Here, you become part of the story. For a short while, Istanbul won't feel like a city you're visiting. It will feel like you've stepped into another world.
