May 16, 2024 - ND Saber/Rapier
Top Tier Columbia
08:00 PM – 10:00 PM
May 16th: Saber first, rapier second SABER: This is a continuous saber class taught without a specific source. While many systems will be drawn on people practicing any system are welcome to join and will learn something. We will be working on techniques but also general fencing concepts such as distance management, timing, fighting under defense and so on.  RAPIER:  This will be a multi focus group.  To help people find the style that fits best with their physiology, temperament, and how to just become a better fighter by understanding the breadth of techniques out there and how to use/defend against them. Touch of Fabris, Capo ferro, Destreza, Dancie, Agrippa, etc. This will be a very long term project, my goal is to bring in some book study when we get folks up to speed to start working on some school level interpretations and learn how to read, theorize, and understand treatise study to help people find their own niches

Pinchpoint 2024
Top Tier Columbia
08:00 AM – 06:00 PM
COVID-19: You are required to be fully vaccinated and boostered to join this event.   Full vaccination is defined by getting the full regimen of shots (Pfizer/Moderna = 2, J&J = 1) and receiving a booster. You will be required to present a copy of your CDC vaccination card at registration as proof. ----------------------------------------- Pinchpoint is an event that will partner experienced HEMA fighters and instructors with new students in a low key tournament format designed to promote participation, learning, and friendship in a casual environment. Mentors are encouraged to help students through personalized coaching, informal sparring, and ad hoc lessons. Fighters (crablets) will stay in a bushel with their mentor throughout the entirety of the tournament to receive individualized attention and advice. And if you think the crab puns will stop, scuttle away now. So, who should sign up for Pinchpoint? If you are BRAND NEW fighter, have no gear, but you want to try your hand at a tournament, register for Pinchpoint. We will have gear your can borrow. If you are a NOVICE fighter (under 2 years in HEMA) and have fought in Open tournaments, but you struggle to make it out alive, let alone make it out of the pools, register for Pinchpoint. If you want to sign up for Pinchpoint to win against (or maybe hurt) new fighters, don't. There won't be any amazing prizes. For full disclosure, event organizers will be reaching out to your club heads/instructors to vet fighters and to ensure the best experience for all attendees!
