The Dream Team

Jelica and Andrijana are the driving force behind the tournament and the people carrying most of the organization on their shoulders. From the first ideas, design and planning meetings to schedules, communication, logistics, and all the invisible work nobody notices unless it goes wrong, they are the reason this event exists in the first place.

Between the two of them, they somehow manage to keep everything moving forward while still bringing personality, creativity, and a bit of chaos into the process. If the tournament feels alive, welcoming, and held together at the same time, that’s mostly because of them.

The Main Offenders

Andrej and Petar are the people responsible for keeping the competitive side of the tournament running without completely descending into madness. They handle rulesets, judging organization, tournament structure, and all the difficult decisions nobody wants to make in the middle of a fight. Both deeply involved in the HEMA scene, they care about making the event fair, functional, and enjoyable for fighters at every level.

They might spend most of the event solving problems on the battle grounds, but without them, the whole thing would probably collapse into arguments about doubles and afterblows within the first hour.

The Masterminds

The tournament is organised by the Belgrade Fencing Academy, a club with more than two decades of history and a team stubborn enough to turn ambitious ideas into real events. What began as “we should probably host something ourselves” slowly turned into months of preparation, problem-solving, and an unsurprising amount of caffeine. The people behind the event are fighters, friends, volunteers, and organizers, working together to build a tournament that feels competitive without losing the sense of community that makes HEMA worth coming back to.
