This term carries all of that energy, with a calendar full of workshops, camps, outreach events, focused training, and community gatherings.</p> <p style="font-family:'Adobe Caslon Pro', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;color:#1C1B1A;margin:0 0 16px;">At the centre of the season is the <strong>Vancouver Martial Challenge</strong>, a full weekend of competition and community. It begins Friday night with formal tournaments, including the Rapier and Longsword Opens. On Saturday, we continue with the Under-Represented Genders Longsword Tournament and the Archery Tournament, then gather that evening for a Deed of Arms. Sunday closes the weekend with the Accolade Tournament: a day where we invite practitioners from across disciplines and arts to share in friendly sparring, personal and partnered challenges, and the beauty of martial practice.</p> <p style="font-family:'Adobe Caslon Pro', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;color:#1C1B1A;margin:0 0 16px;">What I love about this event is that it brings together so many sides of the Duello community. There is space for those who love spirited point-scoring competition, those who want to display virtue on the field, and those who simply want to share in the connection that comes through practice, challenge, and mutual respect. It is not only about winning bouts; it is about showing up together and celebrating the many ways we pursue the art of arms.</p> <p style="font-family:'Adobe Caslon Pro', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;color:#1C1B1A;margin:0 0 16px;">Alongside the Challenge, this summer offers a strong slate of workshops in tactical drilling, advanced longsword, two-sword, dagger, sidesword, archery, and Green Cord exam preparation. Youth students will be immersed in nine weeks of Summer Knight Camp. We’re also pleased to welcome back guest instructor <strong>Stephen Hand from Tasmania</strong>, who will share the art of <strong>English Backsword</strong> over four Monday Focus Classes in August.</p> <p style="font-family:'Adobe Caslon Pro', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;color:#1C1B1A;margin:0 0 16px;">I look forward to training with you this summer, on the floor, at the range, in competition, and in community.</p> <p style="font-family:'Adobe Caslon Pro', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;color:#1C1B1A;margin:0 0 16px;">— <strong>Devon Boorman</strong> Director & Maestro d’Armi, Academie Duello</p> <div style="border-top:1px solid #E5E2DC;margin:22px 0 0;"></div></td></tr><tr><td style="background:#F8F5EE;padding:30px 40px;"><div style="font-family:'Adobe Caslon Pro', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:11px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:0.18em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#888888;margin:0 0 8px;">This term</div><div style="font-family:'Adobe Caslon Pro', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:30px;font-weight:600;line-height:1.15;color:#1C1B1A;margin:0 0 4px;letter-spacing:-0.01em;">Workshops</div><div style="height:10px;"></div><div style="margin:0 0 20px;"><div style="font-family:'Adobe Caslon Pro', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:19px;font-weight:600;color:#1C1B1A;line-height:1.25;margin:0 0 3px;"><a href="https://momence.com/s/139395449" style="color:#E61F14;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;">Archery Green Cord Skills</a> <span style="font-style:italic;color:#555555;font-weight:400;">w/ Scholar Fox Noonan-Graham</span></div><div style="font-family:'Adobe Caslon Pro', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:0.06em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#888888;margin:0 0 5px;">AUG 16 · 1 - 3PM · $100/4 Credits</div><div style="font-family:'Adobe Caslon Pro', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.55;color:#555555;margin:0;">Get ready for your archery scholar exam with this workshop that targets assessment requirements and other crucial skills.
