Firestone Phoenixes Armored Combat

06/02/2026

The Phoenixes fielded at their first official BI competition in April and really came out with a splash! Tournament of Legends in NC gave us the opportunity to represent in women's 3s melees, buckler and shield duels, and also a fun all v all femme melee. The team came home with medals in each dueling category as well as melees. For the majority of the team this was their FIRST official event!! The training continues as we prepare to move into our own training space in July. 🐦‍🔥⚔️🛡️
