Annual Fencing Events
Every year Boston Armizare hosts our annual summer tournament, Boar’s Tooth.
At this event we bring together fencers from all over New England for the weekend. The event is a mix of tournaments, workshops, and free play.
Boar’s Tooth 2024 is our 6th year running the event! It will go from Aug 9 - Aug 11 at the Shady Hill School in Cambridge, MA.
Boar’s Tooth
Give a Girl a Sword
Twice a year, Boston Armizare participates in the international Give a Girl a Sword program.
This is a free class for cis and trans women, as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women, where you can come to learn the art of longsword.
The class is taught by 3-time gold medalist Christina Beaulieu.
Conventions and Social Events
Arisia
Arisia is a convention for fans of science fiction and fantasy, held annually in January on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend in the Boston area.
Boston Armizare often teaches classes and gives historically focused demonstrations at this event.
King Richard’s Faire
Each summer Boston Armizare sends a group to King Richard’s Faire where we enjoy dressing in our Medieval and Renaissance clothes, eat and drink all day, and have a few duels in the parking lot.
Costumes are encouraged but never required.
