Brezelhau 2024
2024-05-04 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Bratislava) | Rotary Park, Six Mile Rd & Hubbard St, Livonia, MI, 48152, United States
The Michigan Medieval Combat Association invites sword fighters of all skill levels to take part in our yearly HEMA tournament!
This year we’ll be continuing to use our fechtschule ruleset based on tournaments from 16th Century Germany. The most notable quirk of these tournaments, is there’re no thrusting attacks, and ONLY strikes to the head. The various schools in attendance will be the guilds (teams). Each bout you win earns you “gulden” (coins). The two tournaments will be STEEL LONGSWORD, and LEATHER DUSSACK.
This is intended to be a friendly, more fun and casual atmosphere, without the heavy stresses, (or price tag), of bigger tournaments.
There will be prizes for:
– Guild who brings the most combatants
– Most coins earned (individual)
– Most coins earned (by guild)
– Most exemplary fighter
In honor of the infamous illustration in Jörg Wilhalm Hutter’s 1523 combat treatise “Kunst zu Augspurg”, which depicts a random pretzel vendor amongst the swordsmen, we will be serving pretzels at the tournament!
10am: registration/equipment check
12pm: tournament begins

2024-04-06 08:00 - 17:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Singapore, EURASIAN HERITAGE GALLERY, 139 Ceylon Rd,, Singapore, 429744
Fiore vs Lichtenauer, or, how to beat up your German friends.
Duration : 6 hours
Students will need a longsword training simulator of some kind, a dagger simulator, and a mask. Additional freeplay equipment is useful but not essential.
We will begin with some basic techniques and concepts from Fiore’s Art of Arms, and then apply them to Liechtenauer problems. How can a mezano counter a zwerchau? What do we do with a Zornhau Ort?
We will also look at skill development: bridging the gap between choreographical execution of the plays in the manuscripts and actually applying their lessons in a more competitive environment.
Students are encouraged to bring questions and suggestions. We will plan the content of the seminar together in the first few minutes of the seminar.
