SUMMARY:Sioux Falls Tournament of Blades
DESCRIPTION:The Sioux Falls Tournament of Blades is a unique martial arts event that brings together practitioners from a wide range of bladed weapon traditions for a day of learning\, camaraderie\, and friendly competition. Unlike most tournaments that focus on a single art\, the Tournament of Blades celebrates the diversity of weapon-based martial arts by hosting divisions in multiple systems including Olympic-style fencing\, Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA)\, modern Kendo\, and padded sword competition. \nHosted by Dynamic Martial Arts of Sioux Falls\, the Tournament of Blades is a the premier open-format edged weapons event in the region. Now in it’s second year\, this event was created to provide a place where practitioners from different traditions can come together to test their skills\, share knowledge\, and grow as martial artists. Whether you are stepping into competition for the first time or are an experienced competitor\, the tournament is designed to encourage respectful competition\, personal improvement\, and the exchange of ideas between arts. \nWe look forward to welcoming competitors\, coaches\, and spectators to Sioux Falls for a day dedicated to the martial traditions of the blade.

DESCRIPTION: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. \nWhile 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.) \nThe 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. \nThe weekend will include the Invitational tournament\, seminars\, classes and open sparring. \nSAVE THE DATE! Details and registration information to follow shortly. \nCome celebrate the legacy of the man\, the myth\, the legend that is Tiger Mike Edelson
