OUR VISON
International Tournament
Our goal is to establish the Berlin HEMA Cup as a prestigious international event that attracts participants from around the world. We aim to create a platform where fencers of all disciplines can showcase their skills, learn from each other, and compete on an international stage, all while representing the diversity and strength of the HEMA community.
Multiple Tournaments in One Weekend
We offer the unique opportunity to participate in several tournaments over one weekend. With multiple disciplines, including Longsword, Saber, and Rapier & Dagger, each featuring Open and Women’s categories, this event is designed to maximize the competitive and learning experience for all participants.
Team Effort
The Berlin HEMA Cup is built on the spirit of teamwork and collaboration. Everyone who wants to contribute is welcome to lend a hand, even in small ways. In return for their support, helpers receive discounted entry fees, meals during the event, and the chance to gain valuable experience while being part of an incredible community effort. Together, we create an event that’s not just about competition but about coming together to make something truly special.
Equal Opportunities for Women and Minorities
We are committed to ensuring equal opportunities for women and minorities in all aspects of the tournament. This includes fair starting positions, equitable promotion, and visible representation across all categories. We actively support Women’s+ tournaments by providing fair access to spots and equal consideration in scheduling, creating a space where everyone can compete at their best.
Ranglisten and HEMA Ratings Tournaments
We are proud supporters of the German Rangliste concept and strive to host the Berlin HEMA Cup as an official Ranglisten event, where possible. By integrating with HEMAratings, we ensure that performances are recognized and contribute to the wider competitive landscape, promoting growth and professionalism within the sport.
Community
The Berlin HEMA Cup is more than just about winning. While competition is important, this event is also about friendship, camaraderie, and building a stronger community. It’s a chance to form new connections, strengthen old ones, and look forward to meeting friends again year after year. We believe the spirit of HEMA thrives not only in the ring but also in the bonds we create along the way.
