“Battles in the North offers a unique opportunity to experience high quality fencing in a laid-back, yet professional atmosphere, surrounded by a beautiful, historically and culturally rich setting. Tournaments combined with lectures, workshops and an excursion to Mt Olympos makes this event stand out, and the hospitality is top of the line.”
“During the last years I had the chance to attend many events, in many countries and different continents. BITN represents the perfect mix that many events should have, great professionalism that is also able to make you feel home thanks to some of the most beautiful people you can meet. Tournament of high level that I’ve seen rising year by year. And to finish, all of this in the cradle of western culture, on the feet of Mount Olympus!”
