Event Overview
Welcome to a true proving ground of martial discipline. The Trial of Gladios is an elite, duels-only armored combat tournament hosted by the LA Golden Knights and sponsored by Medieval Combat USA (MC USA). Stripping away the chaotic massed melee formats, this event is designed specifically to highlight the technical brilliance, speed, tactical pacing, and raw athletic precision of one-on-one swordplay.
This is a Buhurt International (BI) ranked tournament and a absolute trial of skill. Top duelists from across the region will step into the list in full steel armor, testing their technique, stamina, and blade mastery to secure crucial international ranking points.
