各位熱愛史實歐洲武術的朋友們大家好，由於小編我昨天才剛回到台灣，還有點累所以稍微晚了點發文，絕對不是偷懶什麼的w
這個月的9號和10號是香港的 英靈歐洲武術會 Einherjar HEMA Club舉辦的國際HEMA比賽—英靈杯Einherjar Cup HEMA Tournament 2025，我們嘉南劍修會包含我一共3人也參加了這次的比賽，認識了來自世界各地的強大劍客還有團體，其中最讓我們訝異的是來自西澳的 Ursa Major HEMA Academy 他們都是非常經驗老到的劍客，他們不只技術精湛、同時也非常熱情，不只在賽場上打的非常出色，在賽中還有賽後的交流也不吝嗇於和我們分享他們的技術和經驗，是一群溫柔且強悍的戰士，這次能在英靈杯遇上他們實在是我們的榮幸。
這次除了參加比賽外，也很開心能和英靈的朋友們一起交流還有吃飯，香港的朋友們都非常風趣還有熱情好客，讓我們感覺這次來到香港不僅僅只是來比賽、也是來見有著共同興趣還有許多共同話題的朋友。
可以看到這次參加英靈杯的都是來自世界各地的高手，並沒有讓我們幾個有得名的空間，為此我們也會繼續努力練習、以期下次比賽都能打得更好。另外，雖然我們沒有人在正式比賽中得名，但是在正式比賽之後的趣味競賽—大刀會倖存者Lone Survivor，小編本人我呢非常之走運能成為最後一名倖存者也讓我感到十分慰藉，獎品居然是可以裝兩種液體、透過按壓氣孔來決定要倒哪種出來的暗殺茶壺，真是太有趣了。
這次參加英靈杯其實是小編本人我第一次參加的國際HEMA賽事，在賽前都沒意料到這次比賽可以讓我學習到不少戰術還有了解自身有待改進的部分，也沒有想到可以透過比賽認識許多厲害、熱情還有友善的朋友們，我已經開始期待明年再來參加英靈杯了。
Hello to all friends who are passionate about historical European martial arts!
I (your humble editor) just returned to Taiwan yesterday, and I’m still a bit tired—so this post is a little late. I swear I’m not slacking off or anything, haha!
On the 9th and 10th of this month, the Einherjar HEMA Club in Hong Kong hosted the Einherjar Cup HEMA Tournament 2025, an international HEMA competition. Our team from Fechtschule Ka-lâm had three members participating, including myself. We had the honor of meeting skilled fighters and groups from all over the world.
One group that truly surprised and impressed us was Ursa Major HEMA Academy from Western Australia. They’re all incredibly experienced swordsmen—not only highly skilled, but also extremely warm and passionate. They performed brilliantly during the matches, and both during and after the tournament, they were more than willing to share their techniques and insights. They’re truly fierce yet gentle warriors, and it was our absolute honor to meet them at the Einherjar Cup.
Aside from competing, we were also happy to share meals and conversations with our friends from Einherjar. Everyone from Hong Kong was witty, enthusiastic, and so welcoming—it made us feel like we weren’t just there for a tournament, but to connect with like-minded people who share the same passion and plenty of common interests.
Seeing all the top-tier fighters from around the world at this tournament, we realized there wasn’t much room for us to place this time. But that only motivates us to train harder and aim for better results in future competitions.
Although none of us placed in the official tournament, I was lucky enough to win the fun event that followed—the "Lone Survivor"! Being the last one standing felt quite rewarding, especially since the prize was such a unique and hilarious item: an "assassin teapot" that can hold two types of liquids and lets you pour either one depending on which air vent you press. So cool!
This was actually my very first international HEMA tournament, and I never expected to learn so many tactics or gain such clear insight into areas where I need to improve. I also didn’t expect to meet so many amazing, passionate, and friendly people through the competition. I’m already looking forward to returning to the Einherjar Cup next year!
