Today our Beginner Instructor Mark Pagliaro and my student leaves to compete in Europe at an invitational tournament called Tyrnhaw. This is for people in the top 300 on HEMA ratings. We are exceptionally proud of Mark and what he has helped us achieve. Last year he helped bring over 100 people into HEMA and many of them have stayed on with us continuing their sword journey.

MyTHS is international!

Safe travels. Have fun and represent MyTHS and the US.

International HEMA longsword and sabre tournament. October 17–18, 2026 in Trnava, Slovakia.

🎄⚔️ KRAMPUSFECT IS COMING DECEMBER 12! ⚔️🎄

Tickets are still on sale—join us for festive chaos, friendly competition, and unpredictable swordplay!

At Krampusfect, you don’t choose your weapon. Before each bout, Krampus will use his mischievous Anti-Claus magic to decide what both fencers must wield:

⚔️ Longsword
🗡️ Saber
🤺 Rapier
✨ NEW: Rapier and Dagger!

Will you draw your favorite weapon—or face your next opponent with something completely unexpected?

Want to help make the holiday mayhem happen? We’re still looking for Head Referees and other event staff, with free tickets for those helping out! Message us if you’re interested in volunteering.

Krampus is returning—and this time, he’s bringing even more festive chaos! After the blast we had at last year's event, MyTHS is officially making Krampusfect an annual holiday tradition. We are moving to a larger weekend venue at Harford Community College and bringing a brand new twist.

The Gimmick: You don’t choose your weapon. Before each bout, Krampus’s mischievous Anti-Claus magic randomly dictates what both fencers must wield (you use matched weapons):
Longsword
Saber
Rapier
NEW for 2026: Rapier and Dagger!

We Need Your Help (Volunteers & Fencers!): We have plenty of room in our tournament space to host well over 30 fencers, but our actual cap is strictly limited by our staffing ability. If you are willing to help out, please grab a volunteer ticket! The more volunteers we have on deck, the more fencers we can let into the brackets.

Don't own all the weapons? Don't let that stop you. We will have loaner gear available (just email us in advance so we can confirm availability).

🗓 When: Saturday, December 12, 2026 | 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
📍 Where: Harford Community College (Susquehanna Building – Auxiliary Gym), Bel Air, MD

Please share this post and help spread the word to your clubmates. Whether you come to fence, volunteer, or just cheer on the holiday mayhem, we can't wait to see you there! 👹
