Next up, we have Steel on Steel, the Historical Fencing Club of Berkeley! Have you ever been interested in learning sword fighting? By joining Steel on Steel, you can learn Historical European Martial Arts, also known as HEMA or Historical Fencing. As both a martial art and sport, historical fencing takes actual historical techniques and historically accurate weapons, applying them in full-speed combat! Ranging from medieval longsword and dagger to Neapolitan military saber to Renaissance rapier, there's a style and weapon for everyone! Whether you're a history buff interested in faithfully recreating the fighting styles of old, someone who grew up swinging around sticks in your backyard, or an athlete looking to compete in a unique sport, there's a place for you in the club. And best of all, joining is completely free with no dues, no tryouts, and all gear provided! Without further ado, let's hear it for our first pair of fighters!
