TOURNAMENT IN SIENA!!
On the evening of August 4, on one of the hottest nights in years, the final round of Sword competition took place.
The Arena in Siena was full of tension, everyone anxious. Which group would be victorious? Which warrior would be named the best? Who would win the 3000 linden purse (and then who would win 1500 for second and 500 for third)?
The swords drawn. Tension. Strife. To see all of the action properly, you had to use the camera with skill. Siena has a long tradition of being accurate and professional, and the organization on this day was perfect
There were more than 30 warriors, ready to do battle. This number not insignificant as it would have been double, if held in september. More than 30 warriors representing 4 groups: the Teutonic Knights, the Crusaders (brotherhood of the Teutonic Knights), Knights of the Holy Grail, and others.
After four days of battle, the Teutonic Knights had beaten 5 warriors in the final, the Crusaders 2. And in the end the victor named: EZRA. With the good and beautiful DENXY in second place, and LUIS in third place.
It is because of Ezra that Denxy became a Teutonic Knight, a medieval combat group founded by Rod Auer. The Teutonic Knights currently have over 40 brave and skilled knights dressed in an elegant uniform of white, with a black cross on their chest. The group has been active and generous in providing sword training, the tools and lessons on how to use the instruments of combat so that they have the right and skills to win in all battles!
The Teutonic Knights are not exceptionally visible or well known, and in fact, can be a little timid when the want to be. In general, they are usually busy doing battle in faraway Gor lands or in a foreign arena. But when they are invited to a tournament at Siena, you won't believe your eyes! You have to see to believe.
The audience, in awe at the talented and elegant swordhandling as the talented knights leap around the arena, are grateful and honored to bear witness to such an enjoyable event.
