We are a #HEMA club located in Charlotte, NC.
Everyone had a fun time at the social on Saturday night! We had a ton of classic lunchbox snacks as well as some charcuterie aka "adult lunchables"! We played some trivia and then a few rounds of plushy dodgeball as well as some other school yard games! #HEMA

Thursday throwback to this past spring when @swordwind.bsky.social hosted a "flail fight night" using crocheted flails/morning stars. The inside of the ball end was a rubber dodge ball and the chain was stitched as well for safety. Pattern from www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #HEMA

Swordwind had our first ever #HEMA #skrimishing muster today. We ended up with 9 fencers who each fought in 16 matches over the course of 3 hours. Everyone had a great time and learned a lot for our next meetup in December.
