Greetings!
Shattered Crystal has active study and practice of several period rapier styles.  We hold weekly practices at St. John's UCC in Fairview Heights, IL, to keep our skills sharp.  We will be moving our meeting location as of 
May 2nd to The Governor French Academy, 
219 W. Main St,

We also have teachers available through the  Crystal Academy, for those just beginning to learn or for those wanting to learn advanced techniques.  There is loaner gear available for those who are just starting out...    Hope to see you soon!
