Friday evening fighting party

Saturday

Saturday is our main Tournament day, with four different competitions. The first tournament is the biggest one, the Open Longsword tournament. Fighters from all over the world will fence in this steel longsword competition. The second is the messer tournament. A brutal, close range weapon.
Thirdly, we will have the Rory van Noort Invitational Longsword Tournament. Fighters who have proven themselves in other competitions are invited to join this tournament, ensuring a high level of fighters and bouts.
Finally, for the first time we will have a cutting competition: cut through tatami rolls with a proper sharp sword. Now you really have to get your cutting technique right!
Do note that you need to be 16 years of age to join the tournaments.

For those who don’t feel like competing, not to worry. Throughout the day we will offer many workshops in our two remaining halls. The Saturday really has something for everybody.

Saturday Evening Celebration

After the tournaments are over, we will all gather at the dinner location. We will dine together and cheer for the victors and participants and maybe throw in a speech or two. We also have a few after-dinner evening entertainment ideas and activities planned.

Note: we will leave straight from the gymnasium, so there is no time to go back to your hotel to freshen up. We recommend you bring a towel, showers are available, and shampoo will be provided by us.

Sunday

On Sunday, we will have the ‘team up’ workshops, where two prominent instructors will have prepared a combined class and teach together. Duo workshops have a lot of advantages over single instructor workshops in the current development of HEMA events. A problem nowadays is lack of time for workshops if tournaments are held. These are, in our opinion, the advantages of duo workshops:
•    People get two top instructors for the price of one
•    We can host more instructors for that day
•    We can offer more workshops in a day
•    If we have more instructors to teach we have more professional judges
•    Instructors will have a blast, by working and teaching together
Most importantly, as the tournaments take up more and more time, we still want to be able to offer quality workshops for those interested.

During the Sunday we will also get to see the AMEK Kids class at their best. The new generation of the AMEK will fight with dussacks in our ILHG Kids Dussack Tournament. There will also be Demonstrations and Presentations for those interested in the wide world of HEMA.
