The Black Tigers are a "Pirate" themed group of Rapier fighters located around the world. Founded in 2005 by the already legendary Tora Taka and his renown friend Blayde. Tora Taka is widely regarded as one of the best Rapier Fighters of the modern age.

Seeking to improve Rapier Fighting mentality around the world, Tora and his friend Blayde started the Black Tigers group. The Black Tigers hold no true SCA territorial allegiences, fighting together for the greater good of the Black Tiger Pirate Clan. The Black Tigers can be hired to help out one particular side or th e other in any given war however. Of course, if one wanted to make sure their side hired the Black Tigers, one would need to make sure they were the highest bidder.......
