The time has finally approached! Fighters all over the Southeast coast are invited to Carolina Historical Fencing Association’s first hosting ever of a multi-day event.Come join us for an absolutely sick tournament at Midlands Madness 24’, hosted by Carolina Historical Fencing Association, at WellWithin Martial Arts.
What can you expect? You can expect a HIGH intensity tournament with some brand-new rules that aren’t often seen in most HEMA tournaments.
Our Combat Longsword is a sure way to spice things up in the community and give fighters the opportunity to really use what they have in their toolbox. We are also hosting an open Longsword tournament for those looking for something less intense.
Ringen is also making its comeback as well in our open Ringen tournament!
Don’t like wrestling or longsword? Want something a little less intense? We got you covered; you can also join us for our Historical Rapier ruleset as well!
Last but not least, we will be doing a cutting workshop, led by Dan Bernardo! We will have loaner swords available, courtesy of Kyle Peltier!
