Maryland KdF
“Historical European Martial Arts — specialising in longsword training based on Johannes Liechtenauer's teachings.”
Club Administrator, Club Secretary
The organisation
Maryland KdF is a Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) club in Columbia, Maryland, specialising in longsword training based on the teachings of Johannes Liechtenauer. The club also teaches sword and buckler, spear, polearms, messer, dagger, and wrestling. Classes are held at Top Tier CrossFit Columbia.
The challenge
Running a HEMA club with monthly dues ($50/month for members, $10/month for visitors), eight-week beginner longsword courses four times per year, and equipment-intensive training requires consistent billing, class registration, and member tracking.
How TidyHQ helped
TidyHQ manages recurring monthly memberships through Stripe, event registrations for beginner courses and the Rookie Tournament, CodeReadr for class check-ins, the shop for equipment and merchandise, and communications to nearly 1,200 contacts.
The outcome
Since implementing TidyHQ, Maryland KdF has fundamentally changed how they operate.
- 1,188 — Contacts in the database
- 10+ — Years of operational history preserved
- 5 — TidyHQ features actively used
Members renew online and register for events through the same platform. The committee spends less time on logistics and more time building the community.
