Licensed academies · Chartered Shadow Circles

Find a floor.
Train on it.

Every licensed Light Sword Training Academy and every chartered Shadow Circle, on one map. An academy is a licensed school with a certified Academy Commander on the floor. A Circle is a local gathering where Shadow Warriors spar and drill together, hosted by a volunteer and included with the Shadow Warrior membership.

Where the floors are.

No floor near you yet?

Two ways 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 Saturday floor. A Circle is sparring and practice only, never paid instruction, and it charters where no licensed academy already operates.

Bring the academy to your building

If you already run a martial arts school, gym or rec program, the six-week pilot puts the full system on your floor with your own members before any bigger decision. Every founding dollar credits toward the next tier.

This page lists licensed academies and chartered Circles only. Military installation programs and pilots in progress are not listed. Your sash rank is recorded by LSTA and travels with you to any floor on this map.
