Love strikes even the hardest Klingon Hearts. And in the DS9 episode
"You are cordially invited" we get a glimpse into the rituals that surround the union of two beating Klingon hearts.
We have separated this particular group of rituals and ceremony into 3 parts. The ritual itself, The Klingon Bachelor's
Party (called "The path to Kal'Haya), and The Bachelorette party (Not really a party) called "The tests of Honor."



 Games:


Klin Zha Rules:

There are many universal games. Chess is one of them. Klingon Chess, or Klin Zha as it is known is one of the Oldest most well known forms of tactical gaming in all of Klingon Fandom. With these instructions you can make your own board, learn to play, and challenge others! Truly a fandom favorite since Thought Admiral John M. epetai-Ford created the basis for it in his novel The Final Reflection.
betleH Combat:

As with most cultures across the galaxy ritual combat has been seen everywhere from Entertainment to Revenge and Tournaments. In IKF we take this part of the game very seriously. Adhering to the strictest of safety rules without the need to overcompensate thereby diminishing the demonstration value and fun. This very same style and rules of combat can be seen featured in the movie Trekkies 2.

Only those over the age of 18 are allowed to participate in official tournaments as per the IKF Fighters Guild guidelines.


Costuming and Props:
