San Diego Swordfighters is once again proud to host Southern California’s most Spring Themed Historical European Martial Arts tournament: SpringSteel 2026!!
MAY 23-24, 2026
Pine Ave Community Center
3209 Harding Street, Carlsbad, CA
Two days of exciting HEMA tournaments in Longsword and Saber, with Tiered Open and URG divisions for each. We are also excited to offer two Experimental Team Relay Tournaments. One will be Open Saber and the other will be URG Longsword. We will also have new shirts matching the above flyer available in both regular cotton and “Dri-Fit” options.
While we are dedicated to providing the best possible HEMA experience, no event can run smoothly without the hard work and dedication of the HEMA community. We hope you’ll be able to donate some of your time to help out as Judges, Directors and Table Staff. Please sign up below and we’ll get back to you with your assigned role once we’ve put the schedule together. Thanks!
