Review of Retallack School of Arms, September 07, 2009
We searched the Portland area for boxing training for our grandson and nearly gave up until we found
Retallack School of Arms. Skilled training, one-on-one, with no unsavory elements. Our 12 year old
grandson got the basic skills, lots of encouragement and some of the first real sustained exercise in his
life. Instead of a summer of soda pop and video games, he increased his fitness level and his self
confidence. By the end of two months he was boxing a full three minutes with taped hands, professional
#14 gloves, head protection and mouthpiece. The Best!
"An Amazing Experience"

I got to know Trent and the Retallack School of Arms just by chance, when I was assigned to one of his
classes at Trillium Charter School. It was an amazing experience I will never forget.
Trent’s classes are not just a normal workout program but they combine sword fighting techniques with
strength and historical background. Every single class will push you onto your limits but will never ask too
much of you. The new gym is a great place to do physical exercise on your own if you just want to get
yourself in shape. It offers all kinds of punchbags, weights and equipments. However don’t miss the real
classes. There, I got to know the different swordsman positions, the attacks and defenses as well as the
footwork. The very best part is the actual sparing. There you see how your techniques work out, what you
have to change and what to improve.
Trent is an excellent teacher and his Retallack School of Arms offers you an unique teaching in sword
fighting, wrestling and dagger, different from any other material arts I have taken so far. Come and check
it out yourself and you will share my experience.
