The Saber Legion

A huge thank you to the Event Coordinators from across all regions who came together for our 5th Annual Event Planning Meeting to discuss and coordinate the preliminary 2026–2027 Fighting Season Calendar.

Working together to build a balanced and successful season takes a tremendous amount of communication, cooperation, and planning, and we appreciate everyone who dedicated their time to the process.

The attached calendar reflects the events that have currently been approved for the upcoming season. Please note that this calendar is still a work in progress, and additional events may be added as hosts finalize plans and submit proposals.

Event pages will be created in the coming weeks, providing opportunities to learn more about each event, ask questions directly to hosts, and stay informed as details become available.

We look forward to another exciting year of competition, training, and community. Thank you to everyone helping make the 2026–2027 season possible.

Congratulations to Shannon Cole Cameron, our first female and seventh Centurion in TSL history!
Shannon has officially achieved over 100 National Standard Division matches and was presented today with her Centurion Achievement Patch, recognizing this incredible milestone and years of dedication to the sport.
As if reaching Centurion status wasn't enough, Shannon currently also holds the title of Women's Division Champion and Belt Holder, further cementing her place as one of the top competitors in TSL.
We are proud to celebrate not only her achievements inside the ring, but her dedication, perseverance, and impact on our community. Her accomplishment represents a historic moment and serves as an inspiration for future fighters to come.
Congratulations, Shannon! Your legacy continues to grow. ⚔️🏆❤️

⚠️ TSL X Registration Update ⚠️
Some divisions are already moving FAST, and we wanted to give everyone a current look at where things stand relative to division caps before we get closer to sell-outs.

If you know what divisions you want to fight in, we highly recommend registering sooner rather than later — especially for the Friday divisions and specialty brackets.

🔥 CURRENT REGISTRATION COUNTS 🔥
⚔️ Standard Tournament
• Thursday Standard — 15 / 42
• Saturday Standard — 19 / 42
• Combined Standard Total — 34 / 84

Exotic Weapons- 29 / 48
Tag Team 19 / 48
(Several teams are still finalizing partners)
Unity Tournament 12 / 24
Women’s Tournament 6 / 16
50+ Masters 7 / 16

A reminder that division caps exist to protect tournament pacing, staffing, judging quality, and overall fighter experience. Once a division is full, we may not be able to expand it depending on schedule limitations and ring availability.

This event is more than a tournament. It’s TEN YEARS of friendships, memories, growth, competition, and community.

One Legion. Ten Years. Countless Memories.

Happy Mother’s Day from The Saber Legion 💜⚔️
Today we celebrate the mothers, grandmothers, bonus moms, pet moms, mentors, and any caregiver who helps make our community what it is.

The Saber Legion has always been about more than combat — it is about connection, growth, friendship, and family. So many of the strongest parts of this organization exist because of the women who support, guide, organize, encourage, and inspire those around them.

Whether you fight in the ring, support from the sidelines, volunteer behind the scenes, or simply help someone believe in themselves — you matter deeply to this community.

Thank you for helping us remain truly “United Through Sabers.”
We hope today brings you love, appreciation, laughter, and maybe even a little time to rest. 💐
❤️
