We're entering summer "tournament season" and can't wait to see what our club members achieve over the next few months!

Swords aren't the only historical weapons we enjoy! DHFA chose violence for our latest club outing with dodgeball archery 🏹

Congratulations to DHFA instructors .my.champagne and Trevor Jones on their outstanding performances at Fence-acola last weekend! Melissa took third place in URG Rapier & Dagger and Trevor took second in Open Longsword! We're grateful to have such talented fencers instructing us at DHFA! Congratulations to you both! ⚔️

Connor Storrie can fence with DHFA any time. We can spar small sword, or we can spar long sword! ⚔️ 😉

Every day we get to fence is a good day. And chances are good, if we aren't fencing, we're thinking about fencing. 💭⚔️

Welcome to our newest Beginners class at DHFA! We're excited you're here and can't wait to meet you on the floor with steel ⚔️

Our feders get pretty beat up since they're used for sparring multiple times a week. This weekend, we taught our fencers how to properly deburr, de-rust, unwrap, rewrap, and polish the swords! DHFA now has a beautiful rack of swords, ready to take back onto the sparring floor!

Yesterday we continued our study of master cuts with the Krumphau and Zwerkhau! They have more in common than you might think! ⚔️
