A return to our annual in-person deed of alms. We will meet in downtown Toronto to spar and fundraise in support of West Neighbourhood House. This is a friendly competition open to all wma and hema practitioners. We will be using IAS rules which you can read here. All armoured bouts will be marshalled by one of our select marshalls.
For this event we aim to fundraise to support our community and emphasize the positive ideals of chivalry, ie, championing the weak, and fighting honourably. We will be fundraising in support of West Neighbourhood house. and a family of Afghani refugees who are trying to seek asylum in Canada. We will split our funds raised between the two groups.
Fighters, please register below, and share widely with your community to sponsor you for the event! Regular THC members need only register if they plan to fundraise ( we’d be delighted if you would) we ask that all ARMOURED PARTICIPANTS donate ( or achieve a minimum sponsorship of $30)
Note - all equipment will be inspected before you begin sparring. If we deem your gear or weapons unsafe we will not allow you to use it. Loaner gear will be provided if possible. If you are unsure about a piece of gear and want to check in about it please reach out to us before hand at hoplologia@gmail.com
In the afternoon we will be blending with THC’s usual Sunday sparring day.
