About

swordplay 2026

Swordplay is one of the largest HEMA tournaments in Southeastern Europe, with its eighth international installment happening this year. Established by Terca, a school of historical fencing from Serbia, Swordplay strives to bring together fencers from across Europe and beyond who want to compete and exchange experiences with like-minded people in a competitive environment.

Each year, we try to break records set in the previous period. Help us achieve these figures in 2026:
