She has been active in the t ournament scene since 2011 and has earned several medals at international tournaments in various weaponsets since then. Her focus is spread across S word &\; Buckler\, Rapier &\; Dagger\, Longsword and\, most recently \, Sabre. A long background in ballet and various other sports informs her approach to footwork and body mecahnics and is a point of interest in und erstanding how to be more agile in the ring. Kristine is a student and ins tructor at HEMA Riga in Latvia\nMelissa Kleiß - Fencing with Cloak\n\n\nH EMA in Any Weather\n\nEven today\, the cloak remains both elegant and epic . In this workshop\, we'll explore the basics of attacking and defending w ith the cloak. We’ll start with fundamental handling techniques\, then m ove on to some cool tricks. The motto here: Twirling and throwing can be q uite useful!\n\nEquipment Note: A large towel can be used as a cloak.\n\nB io:\n\nI'm Melissa\, and I began my journey in historical fencing in 2021. After attending my first tournament in 2022\, I discovered my passion for the sport. Now\, I spend almost every weekend at different HEMA events\, competing in national and international tournaments. Currently\, I'm part of the German national team for both longsword and rapier. I particularly enjoy fencing with one-handed weapons paired with an off-hand tool\, such as the cloak.\n\n \;\nFranziska Müller - Sickle Fighting according to Mair\n\n\nCut Him to the Floor - The Art of Sickle Fighting\n\nEver tried sickle fighting? No? This workshop is your chance! Paulus Hector Mair\, a 16th-century martial artist\, didn't just focus on classic knightly weapo ns\; he also incorporated elements of peasant combat techniques. In this w orkshop\, we'll explore these elements\, specifically focusing on sickle f ighting. We’ll cover the basic movement patterns and principles of this peasant weapon in a playful and experiential manner. Given the close comba t distance of sickle fighting\, we’ll also practice friendly grappling a nd wrestling.\n\nBio:\n\nMy fencing journey began in the fall of 2019 with the longsword. Since then\, I have been training with Schwert &\; Boge n and have been a coach for over two years. During the pandemic\, I starte d studying sickle combat according to Paulus Hector Mair. Additionally\, I 've gained experience in kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu\, which further deepened my passion for fighting. Learning new movement patterns and engaging in p hysical activity brings me great joy\, which I’m excited to share with o thers.\n\nJasmin Weichert and Florentine Meyer - Jiu-Jitsu for Beginners\n \n\nWhat does a Samurai do without a sword? Jiu-Jitsu!\n\nWe\, the Dojo Ka izen\, warmly invite you to our introductory course. Together\, we’ll ex plore the full spectrum of Jiu-Jitsu: learning how to fall so that we can throw\, and engaging in some friendly grappling (Randori) both on the grou nd and standing up. We'll also try out some joint lock techniques. We look forward to seeing you!\n\nJasmin Weichert:\n\nWhen my mother brought me a flyer for Dojo Kaizen in 2017\, I never imagined that this sport would be come such a significant part of my life. But after the trial training\, I was hooked\, and I've been training in Jiu-Jitsu in Heidenau ever since. A fter years of supporting the team\, I took over my own children’s group in 2021 and am now responsible for the U10 group in our club. I currently hold the blue belt (2nd Kyu).\n\nFlorentine Meyer:\n\nMy journey in Budo m artial arts began in 2012 in the Judo-AG at my high school. I continued th e sport in a club\, eventually earning the orange belt (5th Kyu). In 2016\ , I discovered Jiu-Jitsu. The throws and groundwork I knew from Judo were complemented by strikes\, kicks\, and joint locks. I currently hold the br own belt (1st Kyu) in Jiu-Jitsu. Since 2017\, I have been coaching childre n and youth in our Ü10 group\, and this spring\, I also took over one of our adult classes.\n\nMarcjanna Jelińska- Empowering women in HEMA\n\n\nH EMA (Historical European Martial Arts) can sometimes seem like a male-domi nated hobby\, with a significant disparity in participation between women' s and open categories at tournaments. However\, this assumption ignores im portant factors such as safety in training\, marketing decisions by event organizers and clubs\, and the lack of knowledge about how to properly tra in women\, who are not just "smaller men."\n\nIn this workshop\, Marcjanna Jelińska will guide us in a discussion on how to create a safer\, more s upportive environment for women in HEMA\, both in training and at tourname nts. The aim is not to place further expectations on women to compete but to empower them and make this practice more inclusive for everyone. Let’ s come together to share our experiences\, listen to each other\, and find solutions to make HEMA a more welcoming space for all.\n\nBio:\n\nMarcjan na is a passionate fencer\, linguist\, and musician with a deep connection to both sport and historical fencing.
