You can sword-fight at this club. But no politics allowed
Briefly

The directive to avoid politics has led to closer relationships within the club, transforming the atmosphere into one centered on camaraderie and respect among members.
Club owner Josh Parise reflects on the toxic political discourse in America stating, "I couldn't tolerate the lack of decency between human beings," which prompted the rule.
Parise emphasizes that since implementing the rule, members have been able to focus on their passion for sword fighting without the divisive nature of political conversations taking over.
The Pittsburgh Sword Fighters club serves as a model for conflict resolution, showcasing how shared interests can help bridge social divides and foster genuine connections.
