LSTA Academies · Chartered Shadow Circles

Find a floor.
Train on it.

Not near you yet? Request a floor in your city and you hear first when one opens.

Every LSTA academy and every chartered Shadow Circle, on one map. An academy is a school run by a qualified instructor. A Circle is a local gathering where Shadow Warriors spar and drill together, hosted by a volunteer and included with the Shadow Warrior membership.

Tell us your city and the floor finds you.

Floors open where the requests cluster, and the first people who asked are the first to hear.

No floor near you yet?

Another way to change that.

Train alone, then host a Circle

Shadow Warriors train at home with weekly form review from LSTA. When a few of you live in the same city, one of you hosts the weekly floor. A Circle is sparring and practice only, never paid instruction, and it charters where no LSTA academy already operates.
