Baerswords School of Western Martial Arts | Kansas City, KS

Come join Monarch Historical Fencing and Baerswords in Kansas City for a fun experimental ruleset focused on survivability. HA! We have heard that one before. Seriously, though, HL4 is about not doubling or landing afterblows. If you do, your exchange number gets higher, and your score at the end of this round robin pool goes way way down. You are going to have to hit clean to be the best, no ifs ands or buts.
Fee is $15 either paypal or cash. Half of the fee makes up the prize pool which will be distributed 60/30/10 for First, Second, and Third places.
Please preregister (all you need is your name, there are no early payments) on the Google Form: https://forms.gle/gicfDfCWM4qeRRkU8
