Our Mission Statement:
Each culture has invented its own use of the sword. The Sword Team of Ithaca College is a club dedicated to learning about and displaying these different styles of sword play in choreographed dances and free form sparring sessions. The main goal is to research and learn about the art of sword play. SToIC is a non-competitive club for anyone interested in creative dance or dramatic combat. We will accept beginners with no experience to seasoned stage combatants.

The club offers two distinct combatitive displays: free form sparring, using softer foam swords along with head and hand guards for protection, and choreographed sword dances, using replica wooden swords for rehearsed fight routines. No edged or sharply pointed weapons will ever be used in combat by the Sword Team of Ithaca College.
