Details

Location

We are excited to be hosting Shield Knock in our newly renovated studio at 2909 S Dobson, Suite 1, Mesa, Arizona, 85202. 

Dates

Shield Knock officially runs November 12th & 13th, 2022. We hope the long weekend will be helpful for travel plans, if you want to extend your trip in Arizona feel free to contact the hosts for suggestions.

Meals & Accommodations

Lunch will be provided for both days and will be covered in the registration cost. There are also plenty of food options within walking distance of the studio for breakfast and dinner, and light snacks will be available throughout the day. 


There are a number of hotels that are a short drive from the studio (under 10mins). With enough planning and notice, some of the locals may be able to host out of town guests. Please contact the hosts if you are arriving from out of state and would like to be considered for being hosted in someone's home. We cannot guarantee this, but will do our best to try. 

What to Expect

Shield Knock is an event for learning and experimenting, this is NOT a tournament. Shield Knock is 'system agnostic', meaning it welcomes everyone in the wider sword family to join us. While the hosts are primarily HEMA instructors, we welcome folks from adjacent practices such as buhurt, SCA, HAMA, and more. If it has shields, it is welcome! This event offers workshops from a variety of instructors who offer their unique experience to the study of shields. There will also be plenty of time for free sparring (bring your gear!), lectures, and scenarios! Yes, scenarios. 'Scenarios' are based in experimental archaeology where ideas, theories, and concepts get tested in practice. Ever wondered how a wooden buckler interacts with a sharp sword? How about testing your ability to quick draw your sword and shield in a surprise attack? Do you want to try applying group tactics to shield walls? These are just some of the scenarios we like to offer at Shield Knock.
