What’s new in Sword 2.1.3
Version 2.1.3

What it does
Combat sports clubs have content that a general business theme does not handle well: class programs, instructor bios and a steady flow of workshops and fights. This theme answers that with custom post types for Event, Training and Master, which keep each kind of content in its own section of the dashboard and display it in a clean layout. A one-click demo import brings in the demo design and content, so you can replace text and images instead of building pages from scratch.
For page design, the theme works with Elementor and the Gutenberg block editor, giving you drag and drop layout control without code. It is built on a Bootstrap framework and is responsive and retina ready, so pages adapt to phones, tablets and large screens. WooCommerce support lets you add a shop for merchandise, training programs or memberships, and a theme control panel handles site-wide settings. It suits boxing gyms, MMA schools and coaching studios that want one site for classes, events and sales.
Best for
- Boxing gyms and MMA schools
- Martial arts and self-defense training centers
