--------------
AutumnFecht is an effort by Maryland KdF to provide a cheap, single-day get together for regional HEMA practitioners to train, get together, educate staff, and share ideas.
This single day event features:
- Informative classes from local instructors
- Time set aside for one-on-one or small group instruction
- Dedicated open floor space all day long
This year, we have the entire facility to do sparring, learning, teaching, wrestling, whatever!
If you have any suggestions or questions, especially if you’re a local who would expect to make these kinds of events, please let us know!
