    Between tournaments, demonstrations, and adventures throughout Fright Fight, be sure to visit the Traveling Tea Tavern. Started in 2023, Fright Fight’s goal is to raise awareness of statewide Historic European Martial Arts (HEMA) by hosting a family friendly Halloween tournament. Fright Fight showcases the quality of swordsmanship and martial discipline the state has to offer and is organized by Arizona HEMA clubs. Inspired by the welcoming roadside inns and bustling taverns of fantasy lore and real-world history alike, the Tea Tavern's table at this event will be a place where travelers gather to rest, share news from the road, exchange tales of adventure, and enjoy Chinese tea prepared in the Gongfu tradition. Whether you've crossed blades in the past, come to cheer on your favorite fighters, or are simply exploring Historic European Martial Arts for the first time, you're welcome at our table. Pull up a chair, enjoy a handcrafted tea, and spend a while swapping stories before setting off on your next quest. We'll save you a seat.
