It's great having some fresh faces in the club!

Today we celebrated 14 trips around our Burning Sun for Thamson with a birthday bear pit and potluck! He wanted to fight with ALL the weapons for his bear pit, so we happily obliged.

Wow, surprised and very happy our classes are growing! Today we studied Fabris rapier and everyone who could fight (anyone who wasn't Justinder) was in the pits and clashing steel after lessons. I am so proud of our fighters for showing up, doing the work and then testing out what they learned with sparring.

So great to have new friends visiting and a great turnout from our seasoned fighters. Biggest Burning Sun practice in years!

These kids are killing it with messer. Their sparring is looking amazing and honestly blowing me away. Proud HEMA coach moment.
