GHFS received the prestigious award for Club of the Year, at the annual martial arts gala, hosted by the Swedish budo and martial arts federation (SB&K).
Every year Swedish martial artists gather in the beautiful Berns salonger to celebrate the achievements of Swedish martial arts. To win an award means getting the recognition the world of martial arts. Martial artists from Thai boxing, MMA, BJJ, Glima and several other martial arts were represented among the nominees. GHFS was nominated for two awards – Club of the year and Head Instructor Anders Linnard was nominated for Champion of the year. Carl Ryrberg from Örebro HEMA was nominated for Leader of the year, making HEMA represented in no less than three categories. Out of these three, GHFS won Club of the year. A great achievement and a huge step for HEMA in Sweden.
The motivation for the award was:
”This club has arguably the best practioners in the world. It also organises the world’s biggest event in this art. The club was also a driving force in making the sport becoming more professional and that the art should join the Swedish Budo & Martial Arts Federation. The club also won two historical Swedish championship golds, when HEMA last year held its first Swedish Championship ever.”

Julia Yli-Hukka, Linus Eklund, Samuel Spånberger and Anders Linnard accepted the award at Kampsportsgalan.
It’s been a while since we made an update on the site, we have had more important things to focus on. Like getting a new hall. But now it is here. A new site, showing off the new logo.
We hope you enjoy it!
We were tired of the old logo and wanted something that better conveyed what GHFS is. The new logo features a golden lion rampant holding a shield with three crowns on a blue background. This is pretty much the old heraldic weapon of the city of Gothenburg. But the city has changed it to a modern atrocity, so we felt it was time to go back to the roots. The modern logo of Gothenburg also shows a lion fleeing, so we fixed that 😉
With this new logo we have also adopted A verbis ad verbera as our motto. It means from words to blows, and what could be more fitting for a HEMA club?
GHFS won both gold and silver in womens longsword (Julia Yli-Hukka and Weronica Odsvik) and in Open Longsword (Anders Linnard and Jonathan Wilkins). In sabre, Andreas Engström placed 4th.
Congratulations to all participants and especially our medalists!

Congratulations to our fighters and many thanks to the Longpoint crew for a fantastic event.
