Two days of fun

Tournaments are great fun: you get to fight awesome people and talk with even more of those awesome people! But there’s little time to spar with all your friends you see once or twice a year. That is why we’ve added a second day to DLC, exclusively reserved for free sparring and a couple workshops from the world’s best HEMA instructors.

This day will also be open to fencers that did not participate in the tournaments on Saturday, full-time volunteers will be able to attend for free!

This event is organised by Zwaard & Steen and Historisch Vrijvechten Nederland, in collaboration with H.E.M.A.-Bond Nederland.
