Welcome to our new website!
It’s been a while since we made an update on the site, we have had more important things to focus on. Like getting a new hall. But now it is here. A new site, showing off the new logo.
We hope you enjoy it!

We were tired of the old logo and wanted something that better conveyed what GHFS is. The new logo features a golden lion rampant holding a shield with three crowns on a blue background. This is pretty much the old heraldic weapon of the city of Gothenburg. But the city has changed it to a modern atrocity, so we felt it was time to go back to the roots. The modern logo of Gothenburg also shows a lion fleeing, so we fixed that 😉
With this new logo we have also adopted A verbis ad verbera as our motto. It means from words to blows, and what could be more fitting for a HEMA club?
GHFS won both gold and silver in womens longsword (Julia Yli-Hukka and Weronica Odsvik) and in Open Longsword (Anders Linnard and Jonathan Wilkins). In sabre, Andreas Engström placed 4th.
Congratulations to all participants and especially our medalists!

Congratulations to our fighters and many thanks to the Longpoint crew for a fantastic event.
Julia Yli-Hukka took her second gold in womens longsword, also winning the overall Womens League.
The overall point tally of GHFS fencers over the year also meant that the club won the overall Team Tournament.
