You don’t need to be a qualified athlete, or even part of LudoSport, to experience Champions’ Arena 2026. Spectators are welcome, so come along with friends, family or anyone who’s simply curious to discover our sport and enjoy the action with us in Milan ⚔️

has officially come to an end! Eight unforgettable days filled with emotion, laughter, and so many special memories 💛

We would like to thank every participant for the energy they brought and for everything they shared with us, each in their own way.

SIS is a time to connect, enjoy being part of our community, and build bonds that remain long after everyone has gone home. It is also an intense challenge, with many hours devoted to study and training.
Taking part means working toward something greater than a qualification. It means choosing to give back to your Academy, contribute to the development of our sport, and help shape the athletes of tomorrow. This role calls for commitment, humility, and a genuine willingness to keep improving.

Simply reaching the end of these eight days is already something to be proud of. An examination reflects only one moment and cannot take away the work invested, the progress achieved, or the courage required to put yourself to the test.
Whatever the outcome, everyone leaves SIS having taken an important step forward. For some, the next step will be to continue preparing. For others, it will mean embracing a new role.

Heartfelt congratulations to everyone who passed the examination overseen by our Tecnici and Founding Masters 🎉
This milestone marks the beginning of a new responsibility, one that will take shape through the students you guide and everything you bring back to your Academy.

SIS may be over, but LudoSport 20th Anniversary celebrations will continue in the months ahead. There will be more chances to meet again and look toward the future as one community ✨

Thank you all for making these days so special! 🙏

The network welcomes a new Form 4 Dual Sabers Tecnico!

Congratulations to Adrien Dietschy 🇫🇷 on achieving this important milestone at 🎊

After successfully completing the required assessment with the Founding Masters, Adrien officially adds this new technical qualification to his journey within the network. We look forward to seeing him bring this knowledge into his future courses, where he will be able to pass it on to the next generation of instructors.
Congratulations, Adrien! 👏🏻

What better occasion than LudoSport’s 20th anniversary at SIS to celebrate a truly historic achievement?
For the first time, we are proud to announce a Cavaliere who has earned this rank with all three weapons ⚔️

Congratulations to Alessio D’Arrigo 🇮🇹, who successfully passed his examinations with the Founding Masters.
Reaching this level requires mastery of Forms 3, 4, and 5 in Long Saber, Dual Sabers, and Saberstaff—three distinct paths, each requiring its own set of techniques, as well as a high degree of control and understanding developed through years of study and practice.

This extraordinary accomplishment perfectly embodies the depth and versatility of the LudoSport training journey.

Well done, Alessio! 👏🏻

✨ has officially begun! ✨

This year, the opening of the most important educational event in our network carries an even deeper meaning as we celebrate 20 years of LudoSport: two decades of training, evolution and connections that have transformed a shared passion into an international community 🫂

More than 90 athletes and guests from around the world have gathered in Italy for the biggest SIS ever. Over the next seven days, they will learn from the Founding Masters and expert LudoSport Tecnici, challenge themselves and prepare to bring new knowledge back to their Academies.

The scale of this year’s event is also reflected in the record number of courses being held, ranging from Form 1, Form 2 and Course Y to the Long Saber paths of Forms 3, 4 and 5, alongside Form 4 Dual Sabers and the highly anticipated second part of Form 6.

With the qualification of the very first Form 6 Instructors, the Master Forms pathway will finally open to students, marking another important step in the evolution of the educational journey available to LudoSport Academies worldwide.

Twenty years on, LudoSport continues to grow through the people who learn, teach and carry its values across borders 🧡

Here’s to an unforgettable week for everyone taking part! 🥂
