FOR SCHEDULE, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO ADDITIONAL POSTSWe are pleased to announce Battle for the Ring V, a national Belegarth fighting event over MLK weekend (January 18th-21st) in Chino, California. Battle for the Ring V is a four-day camping event, with 3 days of official fighting. Last year BftR drew over 250 fighters, on our first year as a camping event at a new site; this year, we hope to eclipse those numbers with hundreds of fighters from across the country.
In addition to providing an excellent and intense fighting experience, Battle for the Ring is focused on growing the sport by introducing new and cross-sport fighters to the national Belegarth community.

At the same time, we hope to use Battle for the Ring to introduce new fighters who have never been to a national event, as well as cross-sport fighters who are interested in our method of play, to the national Belegarth community. We are dedicated to creating an enjoyable and educational experience for new fighters, fostering unity and good relations across sports, and ultimately creating a friendly, mutually supportive community through which the sport of Medieval Combat can grow in strength, popularity, and fame.
