"I felt safe & welcome at Bridge City Blades! As a woman who is new to this type of sport I was nervous about joining. However, the focus on safety, consent, & inclusivity, quickly alleviated those nerves and left me feeling strong and empowered. The class pace & content offered something for everyone from interesting history to technical skills. I highly recommend Bridge City to anyone looking for a supportive and inclusive place to learn a new skill or to continue their training."
