A Clash Through the Ages

The Battle Knights Tournament is an awe-inspiring sword fighting spectacle taking place in The Venue – a Gladiatorial style hall in Peterborough, Ontario.

Four Distinct Combat Styles

SCA

SCA warriors use specifically-made rattan weapons, which allow them to use techniques that would be too dangerous with steel. They regularly fight in group battles.

HEMA

This style is characterized by adherence to historical accuracy. HEMA warriors study authentic medieval sword fighting manuscripts when training.

Vikings

Using traditional Norse weapons, this style differs in that one successful strike to the head or torso wins the match. Viking combat is often a mix of quiet analysis and explosive attacks.

MACE

Blades of Glory's very own fighting style. This style is characterized by a lack of grappling and thrusting, thus placing more importance on parrying and swordwork.
