Tobler-One Day of Armor
Christian Tobler’s new book Fighting in Armour is a compendium of techniques using all the common used knightly arms from dagger to spear and across a wide selection of German historical sources. We believe with its advice for acquiring gear and large array of techniques, it is the go-to reference for aspiring HEMA-ists looking to get into armored fighting.
At the Tobler-One Day of Armour, the author will present a selection of longsword and poleaxe techniques from his book across a four-hour seminar. The event is intended for experienced practitioners of harnischfechten and beginners alike—because you don’t need armor to practice fighting in armor.
So, if you don’t have armor, that’s fine, put on your modern HEMA kit and get involved. If you have armor, all are welcome – HMB/Buhurt, SCA, HEMA, and everyone!
We will be arranging a post-event gathering at the local West Haven restaurant The Breakwall. Sign-ups will include a poll for preferences on format between separate checks and a buffet.
