Pinchpoint is an event that will partner experienced HEMA fighters and instructors with new students in a low key tournament format designed to promote participation, learning, and friendship in a casual environment. Mentors are encouraged to help students through personalized coaching, informal sparring, and ad hoc lessons. Fighters (crablets) will stay in a bushel with their mentor throughout the entirety of the tournament to receive individualized attention and advice. And if you think the crab puns will stop, scuttle away now.

So, who should sign up for Pinchpoint?
If you are BRAND NEW fighter, have no gear, but you want to try your hand at a tournament, register for Pinchpoint. We will have gear your can borrow.

If you are a NOVICE fighter (under 2 years in HEMA) and have fought in Open tournaments, but you struggle to make it out alive, let alone make it out of the pools, register for Pinchpoint.

If you want to sign up for Pinchpoint to win against (or maybe hurt) new fighters, don't. There won't be any amazing prizes.

For full disclosure, event organizers will be reaching out to your club heads/instructors to vet fighters and to ensure the best experience for all attendees!
