BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! ⚔️

Mordhau Historical Combat is officially becoming STRONGHOLD HISTORICAL COMBAT!

After years of growth, new opportunities, and exciting changes, we felt it was time for a fresh look and a new name to represent where we’re headed. While our name and branding are changing, we’re still proudly owned and operated by the same founding team you've come to know and trust.

And we’re bringing some BIG changes with us:

🛡️ 4 new instructors joining us for this next chapter (making us 9 instructors in total)
⚔️ Buhurt (armored combat) is officially being added to our schedule
🏰 A brand new studio where we can continue building our community and training together
🔥 A fresh identity, while keeping the same passion for historical combat

We’re incredibly excited to enter this next phase as STRONGHOLD HISTORICAL COMBAT and can’t wait to share everything we have planned.

📍 NEW LOCATION — FALL 2026
Suite C4
1350 S Gilbert Road
Mesa, AZ 85204

The name may be changing, but the fight continues. ⚔️

We look forward to welcoming everyone into the Stronghold!
