when we say real warrior training, we mean it.

our swordmaster @sidewayslatte has been training in HEMA for 5 years.

HEMA stands for Historical European Martial Arts.

They are real techniques from a time when blocking incorrectly meant getting your head taken off.

Jay has been training in Moo Duk Kwan for over two decades.

MDK is a mixed martial art from classical Chinese arts and Japanese arts.

it was taught on the Air Force bases in Korea, where greats like Chuck Norris learned for the first time. (Jay’s lineage even goes through him.)

it is an effective martial art with hip-motivated kicks similar to Muay Thai.

Kelbie has been training in the gym for 7 years and is a certified personal trainer.

She’s been training for 4 years and boxing for 3 years under Jim Murphey (a student of Benny the Jet, who also has roots in the MDK).

at Camp Valkyrie our fantasy training is no fairytale.

it’s the real deal.

if you’re ready to start your training montage, comment your favorite character and we’ll send you the link to learn more.

Comment “retreat” to learn more. 💙🫶 My name is Jay and I have 3 chronic illnesses.

It’s my passion in life to meet other chronically ill women so we can empower and learn from each other.

Love you fantasy baddies. 🗡️🪽💙
