What is “Raid on the River”?

Raid on the River is a stage combat workshop coordinated by The Pen & Sword, LLC which takes place in Tri-Cities, Washington!

We believe that the future of Stage Combat lies in the cross-training of Stage Combat and Martial Arts. Therefore, the goal of this workshop is to blend the line between both worlds so that students develop informed body mechanics, martial skill, and pedagogical knowledge of what Stage Combat aims to simulate.

Raid on the River 2026 plans to have SAFD Knife, Unarmed, and an SPR Track!
