18 fighters from the club, from fairly new students to experienced and including both instructors. To start each bout, two fighters volunteer and step forward, each reaches into a bag and pulls out a token which decides their weapon. There is only one of each - sword and buckler, sword and shield, longsword, sabre, spear, dagger and sickle. Some have never used the weapons they end up with. The aim of this is to have fun, pressure test people in different ways and mix it up. Every bout is first to three hits. All target zones except for spear (thrust only for safety due to audience). Grappling and throws are allowed, but score is only recorded with a strike from a weapon.
