Housed in the beautiful scenic rim of the Gold Coast Hinterland, we are taking historical fencing to the highlands. This two day event will showcase some of Australia's best fencers in Longsword, Sidesword, and Sabre. Also, many years ago we ran the first Australian women's HEMA competition, we are excited to return to this space with a dedicated URG division.

This will be a traditional pool/elimination event.

UFC is back for the fifth year. This year we are mixing things up a bit and running the following tournaments:
- Longsword with two divisions (A&B)
- Sabre with two divisions (A&B)
- Spear (Partisan)
- Sidesword
- Rapier & Dagger
As this event has become popular both nationally & internationally, we have reached the scale that we need to allocate a whole day for longsword, and most of a day for the sabre & sidesword tournaments; this has required us to shuffle a couple of the events to subsequent years (It was either that or add a fourth day).
For longword & sabre this year we are running A&B divisions, these will be seeded by fencer's HEMAratings (weighted ratings), the finalists from the "B" tier tournaments will also added to the "A" tier pools.
