Best Stage Ann Arbor Near Me

Winston Adkins: Cool place! Diane instructed us in swordplay and tumbling for two hours thursday night 7pm to 9pm. We could have done whatever from 9pm to 10pm too. We learned rapiers, tumbling, and played with lightsabers. All for a cheap drop in fee. Will be coming again!

Michael Spafford: As a person who loves swords, this was the place to learn and the staff are very welcoming and fun to just watch even if you don't take part in everything

Yhf Entertainment: AMAZING!!! These folks are truly special. Every one of their performers are terrific. They are the hit of our festival and our guests flock to their stage. We are so fortunate to have them. I can’t say enough good things. Thank you Chris Barbeau for your hard work and endless energy!!!

Maryanne Rathbun: "The Ring of Steel" are a wonderful group to have come in and do a show for you. We had them come out and speak at a Cub Scout Ceremony and they did a lesson on the weapons they were using and did small "fights" for the scouts and their families. They also had a wonderful collection of items from different movies and things they had worked on. After they did their presentation, they had the Scouts split up and one group got to see the traveling museum of items while the other was able to do a sword fighting battle of their own and then they switched groups so everyone was able to do everything. They are a wonderful group and even though we had them out the night we received 10 inches of snow, they still drove out to be there for our boys!

Cassidy Roswood: While at first it seemed a bit intimidating, every single member was warm and inviting. I've learned an incredible amount and each practice is both fun and challenging. I HIGHLY recommend coming out and giving it a go. It's honestly an amazing family of folks and I cannot give enough praise to them.

Beest GLR: Stunt training and Action theatre troupe. Focus on weapons, swords of all varieties., staffs and more, but also falls and acrobatics.

Derpanotherday: The ring of steel action theatre group is a talented bunch of people who are passionate about what they do. They know how to practice proper safety (despite what former reports have said) and are genuinely knowledgeable about the field. My biggest problem is the elitism that is VERY prevalent within their ranks. The members (far from all of them, but a relatively large number of them) are some of the most pretentious people I have ever met. I, as a history buff, HEMA practitioner, and occasional reenactor have attended a few of their seminars. I can tell you, that they do actually believe that they are truly correct about everything regarding techniques and weaponry. While this is mostly true (as some of these people come from similar weapons training backgrounds as I), they speak down to newcomers as if they are some sort of "plebian" minority. It's such a shame that the talent of the directors and leaders has been overshadowed by the rudeness and elitism against those who are literally paying them to become new members. If you want to learn about the stunt industry, or if you simply want to be part of an action theatre group or even if you are just interested in sword fighting, I strongly suggest that you choose another establishment, unless you are thick skinned.
