Hornfest 2026 featured our first cutting tournament with competitors from across western North America demonsting their skills with a variety of sharp swords. While we all enjoy bonking our friends sometimes you just wanna slice through something.

We went to the Saskatchewan Highland Gathering in Regina alongside this weekend! This was the first tournament run by the local HEMA club so AB had to come out and represent ⚔️ there were competitors from Saskatchewan and Manitoba so it was a nice showing from central Canada.

Coach and won gold in smallsword, broadsword (silver as well), and longsword, but more importantly some of our students also made the podium with bronze in broadsword, 4th in beginner broadsword, and 4th in smallsword. Well done everyone!

Looking forward to taking these out for a spin! Thanks .arms
