This will be our first tournament. Its purpose is to give our fencers and other local fencers their first experience in competitive combat – in as smooth and stress-free a way as possible. We are including a foam sword format event for those who don’t have full protection yet – everyone is welcome to come and try!

This event will also help our volunteer directors practice judging in a real bout environment, while at the same time maintaining a friendly and open environment– everyone will be asked for opinions, suggestions, etc.
