Finnish foam weapon fighting championships

Do you have what it takes to be the 2017 Finnish champion of foam weapon fighting? Warriors and heroes will face each other in the battlefield at Ropecon among a flurry of sweat and the muffled clashing of foamed plastic. In foam weapon fighting it takes good sportsmanship, skills and attitude to become a winner. The tournament is fought using one-handed foam weapon swords only.
