If you enjoy spending an entire day talking fencing, learning from experienced instructors, and crossing blades with people outside your home club, the TOD Midwest Meetup is for you.
Bring your swords, your questions, and your competitive mindset.
✔ Quality instruction
✔ TOD Rules & Judge Certification
✔ Hours of open sparring
✔ Fencers from across the region
The strongest fencing communities are built when people come together to challenge one another, share ideas, and leave better than they arrived.
We’ll see you on July 18. Register today, and if you know someone who should be there, tag them or share this post.

Team:
Monday is the last practice of the month. So, it’s FIGHT NIGHT. Feel free to invite friends & family to come check out HEMA, fellow fencers to swing some swords etc…to come hang out and after fencing we can go grab some El Rodeo. 🙂
Also, the facility is closed this Wednesday and Thursday for Maintenance so no class.
We also have the Midwest Meet Up in Wichita, KS and TOD Registration is open. So feel free to let people know what’s up or sign up.
Lots of great training upcoming as the Fall Season approaches. One other thing, looking at the calendar for a group trip to the renfest most likely as things cool down in November. Maybe we should camp as a group??? Good times…
Proud of everyone’s hard work and progress over the last few months. IMHO we’ve built a quality spirited and competitive community for people to achieve whatever their goal is in HEMA. Look forward to the second half of the year.
