Steel Jam VI 2025

Steel Jam VI will be held on Aug. 30, 2025, at the Clermont City Center. the address is 620 W Montrose St, Clermont, FL.

Doors open at 8am for set up. The event will run from 9am-6pm. Breakdown is from 6pm-7pm. Help is always appreciated for set up and break down, if attendees have time.

After breakdown, we usually go to Suncreek Brewery, which is very nearby.

Sword and Buckler (Rated)

This sword and buckler event will be broken into two separate Sword & Buckler tournaments, with the intent to create a space where earlier-period weapons (Arming Sword and Messer) don’t have to compete with the advantages of later-period weapons (Sidesword, Sabre). Please see the weapon requirements for details on weapon and buckler requirements.

We’ll be using a variation on our Point Parity ruleset, with updates on that ruleset to come.

Fighters can sign up for both tournaments, provided that they have weapons that qualify for each.

This event will be rated on HEMA ratings.
