Pillow-fecht!!

Join us for Pittsburgh’s first HEMA themed pillow fighting tournament and pajama party! This event is geared toward people who’ve never tried HEMA before to give them a crash course on basic HEMA footwork and allow them to experience the thrill of competition without having to wear all of the gear or spend years training atop a mountain with a grouchy martial arts master who only barks orders in Mandarin.
