Last Saturday VAC took part in a small tournament at an idyllic homestead in Southern Vermont. The 5 fighters all fought eachother in 3 round matches using a mix of weapon types, from arming swords to large tree limbs (these came into play after some polearm malfunctions!)

We also had an equal number of members show up as support staff to help run the event, marshal, count strikes and assist the fighters. Wonderful photos courtesy of Mikey Hindes

Another fun event in the books, see you at the next one ⚔️

On Sunday morning 9/14/25 Britt O'Connor survived a terrifying car accident when their car flipped off exit 2 on I-91. They were rushed to the hospital with a compound vertebrae fracture and other injuries. They underwent emergency 4 hour surgery at Dartmouth and while they are incredibly grateful to be alive — and for the outpouring of love from friends and community — recovery will be long and difficult.

As a club we're proud and excited to have fielded 5 members of VAC at the Knights Hall annual event, Rookie Rumble. The club has grown from humble beginnings to a group that can see batches of "rookie" (under two years in steel) members participating in this fantastic event.

Congrats to our fighters for slogging through and sticking out the many rounds of the event, and our appreciation goes out to additional members and partners who supported those in steel. Til next year!

We know some of you following us want to dive into our club or this sport at large. If you've been giving us the ol' side eye checking us out, this write up from a trustworthy buhurt supplies business is a crucial read 💫

No you don't need armor right away!

In fact, getting involved with a club will create opportunites for you to try fighting in steel in loaned gear.

The biggest hurdle to fighting in steel is putting the time into your own physical fitness, you'll have a lot more fun if you start greasing the wheels to getting your stamina/strength built up!
