Annual Fencing Events
Every year Boston Armizare hosts their annual summer tournament, Boar’s Tooth.
At this event we bring together fencers from all over New England for the weekend. The event is a mix of tournaments, workshops, and free play.
Boar’s Tooth 2023 is our 5 year running the even and will go from Aug 18 - Aug 20 at the Somerville Armory.
Boar’s Tooth
Twice a year Boston Armizare participates in the international Give a Girl a Sword program. This is a free class for cis and trans women, as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women, to come and learn the art of longsword.
The class is taught by the 3 time gold medalist Christina Twombly.
