Masterless Fencing is a HEMA club and community based in Eugene, Oregon. We are focused on inclusion, pressure testing source material, and the interests of our members.

We are mostly longsword-focused but also study messer, sidesword, and sword and buckler, with the intent to integrate study of saber and rapier in the future.
