Michael

Certified in advanced stage combat in 10 different countries including the Society of American Fight Directors, Michael is a skilled combatant and teacher who has been training fighters in theatrical combat internationally for over a decade. To him, every punch, every step, every swing, dodge or block, is part of a story and a shared experience between the fighters and any onlookers. He is the focused mind of the guild – leading classes and organizing things behind the scenes to keep guild life full and exciting!
Justin

Real-life hero (SWAT medic) and all-around great guy, Justin brings both his extensive roleplay background and his experiences in law enforcement to play his role at the guild. Justin has been with the guild from before day one, setting the foundations for success. He is the support that keeps everything running. When you need a hand he will be there to help. When you have an injury he will be there to patch you up. When you go drinking he will be there to share the first and last cups. When you get in a brawl he’ll be there beating someone to death with a spoon. So long as he isn’t on call as one of the key members of the medical team for DFUS.

Welcome to the Fighters Guild!
Here the art of combat transcends mere physical prowess—it becomes a theatrical spectacle, a narrative woven through the clash of steel and the dance of blades.
Warriors of all backgrounds converge to hone their skills, tell stories through combat, and uphold the spirit of chivalry and brother/sisterhood.
Who We Are
The Fighter’s Guild is a vibrant community of swordsmen, knights, mercenaries, gladiators, and martial artists, united in their passion for combat and storytelling.

What we do
At the heart of the Fighter’s Guild lies our arena, where tales are forged in the heat of battle.
Beyond mere sparring, our members engage in theatrical combat, learning to use skeleton choreography to create epic duels and skirmishes that captivate audiences and immerse them in fantastical worlds.
But our mission extends beyond the stage; we strive to impart our skills to aspiring warriors, teaching them the art of combat storytelling and empowering them to become masters of their craft.
Want to get involved?
Joining the Fighter’s Guild opens up a world of possibilities for both seasoned fighters and aspiring combatants alike. Guild members, stationed at our headquarters, serve as guardians of our tradition, mentors to the next generation, and ambassadors to the wider community.
We collaborate with camps, lead workshops on combat storytelling, and lend our expertise to create unforgettable experiences on the battlefield. Full guild members are part of the Drachenfest Bazaar (chosen instead of one of the dragon camps when purchasing a ticket to Drachenfest).
Guild members are curated and selected from applicants who have purchased a ticket as a Bazaar Player and submitted an application. If you’re ready to take up the mantle of a guild player and champion the art of theatrical combat, submit your application today!
As a member of one of the Dragon Camps you can still engage with the thrilling roleplay provided at the Fighter’s Guild.
Join in our rich warrior culture, allowing you to refine your skills, craft compelling narratives, and stage thrilling combat scenes!
Or fight to become your own camp champion and compete in the Tournament of Champions for the glory of winning a Dragon Egg and the true treasure, the eternal adoration of the crowd!
