Swordplay LA, Hollywood’s best-kept secret?

Is Swordplay LA, a Stunt Fighting and Fencing school located at 3316 W Blvd, Burbank, CA, Hollywood’s best-kept secret?  We would definitely answer that with a “Yes.” 

You would probably ask why and frankly we would tell you to “just step in the place and you will see!” Sorry, a bit dramatic.  Haha!  But today we will elaborate for you and simply say, “It is not just the (prop)  swords, knives,  guns, fencing tools, and the cool hand-to-hand moves!”  “It’s also, the environment of professional hard-working, and caring instructors that will not let us lie when we tell you that you will feel welcome if you are in for an adventure.”  “Especially, the warm feeling of community that comes with all their programs.”

“It is a judge-free environment” and we are just quoting co-owner Mary Spohn about that one.  Thank god for that, right?!  Not many places can say that!  If you don’t believe us, do not worry cause you will hear it from her when you visit, lol.  Or from Ryan Cook, another great asset of Swordplay LA studios and co-owner.

  Spohn is one of many professional instructors that the Studio provides.  Being the Sword and Weapons, hand-to-hand, Lightsaber, Fire Arms Stunt Class, and a Fencing Instructor.  Mary has only been ranked one of the top female foil fencers in the country, you all!  I mean, not to take for granted her wisdom, just saying! 

Also, you should see her business partner, Cook, when instructing fencing! So much patience and dedication with the little ones and overall!  Yes, Ryan! We were watching! Haha!  He is an excellent Fencing Instructor, not gonna lie!
