GLECA Sydney

What an incredible showing from the GLECA Sydney and Canberra fighters at *Capital Krieg 2026* hosted by The Canberra School of Arms and Armour.

Saturday’s Longsword tournament saw our competitors represent the clan with skill, professionalism, and determination throughout the day:

⚔️ Chris – 2nd Place
⚔️ Ken – 5th Place
⚔️ Harrison – 10th Place
⚔️ Andrew – 11th Place

On Sunday, Chris also competed in the Sword & Buckler tournament, once again securing 2nd place amongst a field of high-quality competitors, making for another hard-fought and energetic day of fencing.

Every competitor fenced amazingly well and embodied what it means to be part of the clan. Proud to be a Glecan and proud of the strong representation our members continue to bring to the wider HEMA community.

Happy New Year! First post back.

For those that enjoy reading niche historical fencing focused discussions, our head instructor for Sydney Ken has written a well thought out piece on the Zornhau.
How and why he approaches the technique and the context it is placed in written history.

Insightful as always Ken!
