SERFO 2022 Head Instructor

We are happy to announce that Kristine Konsmo has agreed to be our Head Instructor for SERFO 2022. Kristine shall be holding two classes on Sword and Buckler, and one lecture on Sword and Buckler.

Her Bio:

Kristine Konsmo has been a student of HEMA since 2009, starting with the study of I.33 Sword & Buckler in her hometown of Oslo, Norway. In 2011 she entered and won her first tournament at Swordfish: Open Sword & Buckler.

Since then she has gone on to claim several open medals in both Sword & Buckler and Rapier & Dagger. While these two weapon-sets are her primary scholarly interest, she has, for the past several years, taken an interest in German Longsword purely for sport and play.

In 2014 Kristine began instructing on the international scene. She has held seminars on four continents in topics ranging from manuscript interpretation, form & footwork, tournament tactics, refereeing & judging and drilling.

Several of these seminars have been part of continental tours spanning several weeks inspired by the journeymen from our historical art’s origin. Currently Kristine lives in Gothenburg, Sweden with her dog, Ayla and spends her weekends sparring with her buddies at the fencing hall.
