Powerstrike Forza is Italian for "strength and power." Also known as Samurai Sword Training, the one hour class is a supercharged workout that blends elements of two Japanese sword fighting techniques - Kendo and Aikijujitsu. Ilaria Montagnani combined her ten years of martial arts experience to develop this imaginative format in 1995.

Group Exercise
Specifically designed for group exercise, Ilaria's newest creation uses a fitness sword and teaches precise striking movements that shape the upper and lower body while building strength.
