News & Updates

Blood & Iron Victoria Location is Closed

Sad news for Blood and Iron Victoria.
As of January we will be closing our Victoria location.
‍
This year has been very difficult, enduring multiple lengthy Covid 19 government shut downs for sports/martial arts. This has hampered our ability to continue our club at the capacity we once were able to.

We want to thank everyone who supported us, trained with us, and traveled around the world to compete with us.

We cannot thank you enough for the great memories.

We hope to eventually get back to in person training as a small club in Victoria at some point once its safe and restrictions are eased.

For everything Blood and Iron, you can check out our YouTube page, check out our Vancouver location (once restrictions lift), or check out our online program.
Stay safe, and keep those swords shiny!

ONLINE PROGRAM

Our Vancouver/Langley Location is Closed

Due to the government's mandated closures our brick and mortar location is no longer financially viable. Blood and Iron is now offering online classes until we find a suitable replacement location. For more information please email us info@bloodandiron.ca
