Yesterday, we were visited by Marek from Akademia Szermierzy. It’s at times like these we’d like to reflect on the importance of sharing knowledge and fencing outside of our own clubs.

The exchange of ideas and techniques is what keeps our sport dynamic and inspiring. Which is why our doors are always open: any fencer passing through the area is more than welcome to join us for a training, just shoot us a message!

Thank you Marek, we really enjoyed the sparring sessions! ⚔️

We are deeply saddened by the news of Clément of Meyer May Rise’s passing.

We remember Clément and his big smile from our many visits to his club and tournaments. His passion for the historical arts was truly contagious.

Our thoughts are with his friends, family, and everyone at Meyer May Rise.

Long live the Lord of Hosdent.

This weekend, Meyer May Rise organized the Bountiful Summer tournament; a seasonal friendly longsword tournament.

The atmosphere is always great, and you get to spar with a lot of different people, it is always a pleasure to go and we can't recommend it more.

This edition, clubmates Pieter, Robin & Thomas made the drive to Braives to compete in the tournament. During the pool phase, all of them achieved great results, and Pieter even reached top position in his pool.

Robin eventually made it to the semi-finals and ended up getting a well-deserved 3rd place! The rest of the podium was taken by our good friends Mateo from SWARTA (2nd) & Jan from Sumus Soldani (1st)!

We're already looking forward to the next edition! ⚔️
