So as I commented on in my last blog post, after we finished up at the Armizare Academy last weekend we visited Forteza Fitness, the home of the Chicago Swordplay Guild. They had a great space that was working its way toward becoming even cooler. Well, after we left they launched an Indiegogo campaign to finish up their crowning jewel, a library, lounge, and club house. Check out their Indiegogo campaign for a little peak inside their school and to learn about (or support!) their new project.
