Fair play!
As manufacturers we are responsible for the safety of our products. However, users’ behavior plays an integral role in how the game is played. The user has the responsibility to respect the physical integrity of his fellow players :
✓ Inspect your weapon before each battle ;
✓ Avoid hits to the face or other vulnerable parts of the body;
✓ Act out the strength without actually enforcing it;
✓ Be mindful of the safety of others AT ALL TIMES.

Soft and resistant materials
Our weapons are renowned for their soft edges, which results in far superior comfort than the competitors. The internal structure is made of a stretched fiberglass rod, flexible enough to partially absorb shocks, while rigid enough to not affect the handling. To reduce the risk of injury when thrusting, spikes are reinforced with a soft complex-weave polyester fabric. The blade is coated with LATEX-FREE varnish.

✓ Our molded sleeves, guards and knobs are made of high quality polyurethane rubber which is waterproof and tear resistant.

Made in Canada
The entire production is hand-made in Quebec

The work space spans 5 000 square feet and houses each of the manufacturing stages, executed by our experienced and passionate team. Most of the finishing details are done by hand, and for certain procedures are still considered handcrafted, which grants our production team great adaptability to meet our customers needs.
Innovative techniques in research and development
Our manufacturing techniques have evolved over time to meet demand, remain competitive and ensure that production remains in Canada. We have developed original high-quality materials, as well as a process to thermoform our blades, called the ATHENA process. These innovative ideas and applications have allowed our products to meet industry standards while improving their quality and allowing our team to become more productive. Incorporating the industry’s technological advancements into our process, using the ATHENA press and the 3D printer, improves our tools that inspire our creativity.
