Stronger Together

We're the Cincinnati Barbarians, Ohio's premier armored combat team. We were founded in 2019 and we've come a long way from our humble beginnings.

We're mainstay performers at the Ohio Renaissance Festival, where we introduce the sport of Buhurt to crowds of rowdy fans. We also host the Cincinnati Siege, our local tournament, which has grown to become one of the largest armored combat tournaments in the country. Barbarians have fought around the country, bringing home medals nationwide. Our team has been featured in Cincinnati Magazine, Fox 19, and many other local publications.

However, just as important to us is the welcoming and positive community that we create in our gym. We Barbarians welcome everyone, regardless of background or fitness level, to join us in becoming Stronger Together!
