Youth Shamshir & Separ Workshop

Virago Alley is pleased to announce its first youth workshop featuring Persian Shamshir and Separ led by Bizhan Khodabandeh. The shamshir is one of the most iconic weapons from Persia dating back to the 9th century through the 18th. The Separ - also called “dahl” in India - is the Persian small shield.

This small class size means you will get quality instruction as our instructors’ attention won’t be too divided amongst a larger sized class.

To secure your spot or for more info, please email classes@viragoalley.org.

What to expect:
The workshop will include introductions to footwork, guards, cuts and select techniques with the shamshir and separ. 

Cost:
$20
Ages 13-18
