Well it’s happening! And the curmudgeonly old troll dodged the bullet. He doesn’t actually have to be a part of this. He would love saying he wasn’t going to be a part of this. It’s who he was.

While portions of the event are open to the public the tournament is indeed an invitational. If you are invited you’ll know. If you’d like to be invited, please feel free to reach out to office@pittsburghswordfighters.com with your request and resume. All the while keeping in mind that Mike was oft to ban anyone and everyone he so chose. (We will obviously be keeping in that spirit.)

The Edelson Invitational will be held at Broken Plow in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania on May 28th through the 31st 2027. Memorial Day weekend. What an opportune opportunity to memorialize somebody.

The weekend will include the Invitational tournament, seminars, classes and open sparring.

SAVE THE DATE! Details and registration information to follow shortly.

Come celebrate the legacy of the man, the myth, the legend that is Tiger Mike Edelson
