F.O.R.T
October 19th - 20th 2024
The Four Openings Rapier Tournament (FORT) is held annually by the Lansing Longsword guild. This event will comprise three separate events, each emphasizing a specific aspect of the rapier’s capabilities differently. Get your tickets here!
The events are:
- The Fechtschule – based on 16th century fencing conventions, the Fechtschule limits the target area to the head and allows only cuts to score
- The Sword Alone – The entire body, from the knees up, will be a target for thrusts and cuts
- The Sword and Dagger – A difficult combination to master and to defeat, the Sword and Dagger event will be the pinnacle of this event
