Atlantic Renaissance Fencing League Longsword/Rapier Open
The Atlantic Renaissance Fencing League is putting on its second Longsword/Rapier tournament, hosted and organized by Maryland KDF (Thats right, we made it long enough to get to the second go around). This is a friendly tournament aimed primarily at HEMA fencers in the DC-Baltimore area. The Rapier tournament will be run after the conclusion of the Longsword tournament.
Registration is limited to 24 entrants for the event. If registration is full and you are interested in participating, please contact ARFL at the following address to be placed on the waitlist: arfl.hema@gmail.com
The event will be hosted April 26, 2025, at Top Tier Columbia in Columbia, MD. Check-in for Longsword begins at 12:30pm. Check-in closes and pools will be announced at 1:00pm. If you are not checked in and ready by the time pools are announced, you are late and subject to being disqualified. Rapier Check In begins at 4:30 with pools starting promptly at 5.
