The European martial arts collective formed its own WEKAF called, HEMA Alliance. This is the longsword tournament as reported by NY Times & Al Jazeera. If you have any weapons training in the past (kendo, arnis, etc.), then you will find this sport very exciting. The longsword is just under fifty inch; other training weapons include sabre (+/- 40 inch) and the cutlass type (+/- 30 inch). Find your local schools/clubs here.
