Longpoint 2014, MD/DC area HEMA event (classes & tournaments)
Sir Edward:
That list must be horrifically out of date then. Lovely.
Aiden of Oreland:
What exactly is the purpose of this event?
EDIT: Is it for SCA fighters, to learn, or to watch? I may have to ponder on this. But thanks for the heads up :) I'll have to see how much I do tree and snow work in that time. Is there a limit on the time I have to sign up?
Mike W.:
For what it's worth, I intend to go. It's nice having events that ar around the corner

This is for practitioners of historical swordsmanship, that much I know. I was supposed to attend last year's but couldn't make it; it is held in DC but I don't know much more beyond that. Sirs Edward, Brian and James have attended in the past- but if you click the link you'll get to see what seminars they're offering.
Sir Edward:
That's right. It's a collection of classes/seminars on Historical Combat, plus tournaments. It's not SCA-related at all. It's part of the modern HEMA movement (Historical European Martial Arts).
The classes and competitions will include wrestling/unarmed, longsword, sword and buckler, test-cutting, and so on.
This year I think it's a 4-day event? I may not go for the whole thing. Maybe Friday-Sunday, or something. I signed up for some of the competitions, so the schedule for those may influence which days I attend.
