Full-contact Team fights in authentic armor with accurate replicas of medieval weapons.

Historical Medieval Battle Association or HMBIA, is the international sports organization created to develop, support and promote HMB sport – unique combination of the true sport action and historical cultural heritage. Historical Medieval Battles (HMB) are full contact sports fighting, where defensive and offensive weapons of the Middle Ages, made and adapted specifically for this type of competition are used. HMB are held on the lists of standardized shapes and sizes and, depending on the format of the battle, different types of authentic weapons are used. The concept of HMB combines all forms of full-contact combat with the use of objects of historical reenactment of the Middle Ages, namely historical fencing, buhurts, melee, duels, small-group battles, mass field battles, professional fights, etc.

Lothar Malmberg

Born at an early age, to a family of European performers, Lothar began his performing career at the age of 6.

As Peter Pan, he had no problems being in front of large audiences and already began to develop a personable character with a voice that could be heard a long way off.

Through the passage of time, our magician extraordinaire has embarked on a remarkable journey, evolving his magic to embrace new horizons and captivating audiences in ever more intriguing ways.

From humble beginnings enchanting children at birthday parties, he has grown to become a versatile performer who leaves a trail of wonder wherever he goes.

He is considered to be one of Alberta's finest family entertainers and magical teachers.

Ma ‘s toil, is Aonghas agus Doileag an cleas a b’fhèarr leibh! ‘S ann à Eileanan Siar na h-Alba a tha iad (uill, à Cala-Gearraidh, ann an da rìribh, ach na smaoinichibh cus air a’ shin) agus thàinig iad airson cèol, seanchas is ringeadh Gàidealach a cho-roinn dhen t-seòrsa as èibhinne is spòrsaile ris a thachair sibh riamh! Bidh fàilte oirbh uile: cha leig sibh leas dè cho comasach ‘s a bhios sibh air a’ Ghàidhlig, dannsaireachd, no seinn, is cinnteach gum falbh sibh toilichte!
