I am Marcio von Sperling, an active Historical Medieval Battle (HMB) athlete since 2018. Over the past eight years, I have built a career defined by national titles, international competition, and a lasting commitment to the development of medieval combat in Brazil and Latin America.

I am a three-time Brazilian National Champion, a multiple-time South American champion in dueling, a multiple-time Brazilian champion in buhurt, and a three-time Brazilian Profight Champion. In 2025, I achieved one of the most important milestones of my career at the Torneo Río de la Plata, becoming the champion of all three duel categories. In 2026, I returned to the competition to defend my titles and once again competed across all three categories, earning 1 gold and 2 silver medals.

My international career includes a bronze medal representing LATAM at the 2023 competition in Serbia, as well as participation in major HMB events in Mexico, Russia, and Argentina. I became the first Brazilian athlete to compete in an HMB tournament in Russia, and have since fought there three times, gaining experience against athletes from different countries, fighting styles, and competitive traditions, as well as earning the first medal for Latin America there, in buhurts.

As a competitor, I take part in both individual duels and buhurt. My fighting style combines technical skill, physical conditioning, wrestling, grappling, and adaptability.

Beyond my own competitive career, I am actively involved in the growth of the sport. I currently serve as General Director and ambassador of ALACoM in Brazil, working to strengthen the Brazilian HMB scene, support athletes and teams, organize international opportunities, and build connections between Brazil and the wider Latin American and international HMB community.

I also compete as a captain of Terra Brasilis, a personal project for creating coalitions outside of Brazil, taking responsibility not only for my own performance but also for the preparation, organization, and leadership of my team in international competitions.

After eight years in HMB, my journey goes far beyond a collection of medals and titles. It is a story built through countless hours of training, international travel, victories and defeats, constant learning, and the pursuit of improvement both inside and outside the arena.

For me, HMB is not simply a sport. It is a discipline, a challenge, and a fundamental part of who I have become as an athlete.
