Here is a look at some of our MERCS members kitted out in Viking re-enactment gear during our last camping trip. It is always a great experience to take our passion for history and combat out of the training hall and into the field. A special thanks Daniel Spiteri for capturing these photos!

Last weekend's camping trip was a great success! We took the opportunity to head outdoors, set up camp, and run some fight games in the field to keep our skills sharp. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make it a solid event ⚔

The dust has settled on our in-house HEMA tournament. Massive congratulations to everyone for fighting an excellent series of bouts.

Tournament prep is in full swing! ⚔

We are training hard and gearing up for the upcoming MERCS in-house HEMA tournament. May the best fighter win!

It was a great experience collaborating with visiting students from the Dutch 'Sport en Bewegen' education program! We had the opportunity to show them exactly what we do and run them through some of our training methods 🛡

Youth exchange initiatives like this are a fantastic way to expose young people to unique sports and different physical activities. Thank you to all the students who jumped in and participated!
