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 competition will begin promptly at 10 AM, so be there about an hour earlier so we can all be prepared when the time comes.  

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).
