VIRTUS IN ARMIS is a tribute to the art of the rapier and the classical Renaissance ideals that govern the pursuit of arms. In the spirit of the duel, the tournament environment serves as a proving ground where competitors may test their mettle, honor their opponents and strive toward excellence, reviving the spirit of marital virtue and noble purpose that once defined the warrior’s path.

At its heart, VIRTUS IN ARMIS seeks to showcase the strength of character, discipline and skill revealed through the pursuit of arms.

As always with NSHF events, you can expect a great time with challenging matches, excellent judging and a professionally run tournament experience – Join us in carrying the tradition forward – one duel at a time!

*Rules for each event will be posted soon.

Hi all! After some delays and deliberation, we are happy to announce the return of Lake E-Fecht! Or this year, Lake E-Fecht Lite!While we are grateful to how many people signed up last year in spite of the horrible weather, we have decided to downsize a little bit this year – lower participant caps on all events (20 per event), and no rapier (moving that to a separate one-handed-themed tournament rather than our winter KdF-themed tournament). Most notably, nothing will be uploaded to HEMA ratings from this event. We’re a little short on experienced staff this year, and we really want to focus on tightening up our judging, event practices, rule sets, and having a fun event so we can scale up again next year.

Like Last year, events will include Messer, ABCD Longsword, Div. B Longsword, Div. A Longsword, and Dagger. Each event will have two rounds of pools – the first one with evenly distributed skill, the second sorted by pool one rankings. Overall winners will come from the top rated pool, but each pool will have a winner announced as well.

Some of the rules have changed since last year so please be sure to check them out before registering! You can find the rules here: https://drive.google.com/…/1xH…/view…

REGISTRATION NOTE :

Just like last year, due to limited space in each event, EACH EVENT REQUIRES A SEPARATE REGISTRATION. If you’re signing up for multiple events, please be aware that 1) each event requires a separate registration and 2) due to previous system overloads, FIGHTERS CAN ONLY REGISTER FOR ONE EVENT EVERY 24HRS. Fighters are welcome to try to register for multiple events a day, but you may receive an error message to avoid accidental duplicate charges. We apologize for inconvenience, but we cannot override the system fails safes.

As in years past, fighters are allowed to leave their gear overnight in either our downstairs locker room or upstairs storage space. While the studio will be locked up overnight, please be aware you are leaving your gear behind at your own risk. Forteza will not be responsible for misplaced, improperly stored, or damaged gear.

WITHDRAWALS & REFUNDS :

Due to our Event Waitlist and scammers trying to sell fake tickets in years past, Midwinter Participants are not allowed to sell, trade, or otherwise exchange their registration. Withdrawals and Refunds must go through Forteza’s Front Desk and registration will be then given to the next person on our Waitlist. In order to receive a full refund for registration, participants must let Front Desk know via phone or email by Wednesday, February 4th 2025 that they need to withdraw from the event. Refunds will not be given after Wednesday, February 4th except in emergency situations on a case-by-case basis.

Please reach out to us at frontdesk@fortezafitness.com for any comments, questions, concerns or Tournament registration assistance. See less

Clash for the Cash 2026
2026-03-14 00:00 - 23:59 | Pennsylvania
Join us for the Clash for the Cash Longsword tournament on March 14th, 2026 in Pemberton, NJ. This will be the only event of its kind in this part of the country with cash prizes and medals being awarded to the top 8 fighters.

The entry fee for the tournament is essentially a $55 buy-in, with the proceeds being given to fighters instead of merchandise. The awards will break down as follows:

$600 for 1ST place

$300 for 2ND

$150 for 3RD

$100 for 4TH

$50 for places 5-8.

These amounts will be contingent upon attendance, of course, and will be based upon a roster of 60 fighters. If the tournament doesn’t sell out, the prize amounts may have to be adjusted.

There will be no sponsors, no frills, and no subdivisions….just a plump purse of prize money waiting to be claimed. It will be open to fighters of any gender or skill level. It is our intention to put together a relatively low-cost event which will be designed to give all fighters the best possible experience for the money they spend.

The event will be held at 50 Early St., Pemberton, NJ., 08068. This address corresponds to a driveway which leads to the Pemberton Boro Field House, which is an old middle school (the building is set back from the road).
