Workshops: SoCal Swordfight 2025 offered 105 workshops, totaling 134.3 hours of instruction, led by 81 international instructors. These workshops provided attendees with a comprehensive learning experience, covering a wide range of historical martial arts techniques and theories.

Oakeshott Institute Lecture Series: The event featured three special lecture sessions with the Oakeshott Collection, allowing attendees to examine and handle historical artifacts. This unique opportunity provided a deep dive into the historical context and significance of these exceptionally rare historical weapons. This was the first time the Oakeshott Institute attended SoCal Swordfight and we hope to see them back!

Saturday Night Antique Showcase: The educational program culminated in a spectacular antique showcase, where attendees could view and learn about rare historical pieces up close from the private collectors within the HEMA community. This showcase featured swords, daggers, armor, black-powder firearms, and a significant collection of original fencing treatises.
