Never mind I figured it out. Ordered 3 sticks and a bag of tips.

Simon/Jim

Do you take PayPal?

Simon/Jim

Do you still have this helm? Is it SCA-legal?

PM sent.

Simon/Jim

For that price, please put me on the list.

Simon/Jim

Would you be willing to sell them? If so, how much?

Simon/Jim

Could you get an estimate for shipping to 19934?

Simon/Jim

Is this still available?

Simon/Jim

Really good practice tonight. Thanks to everyone who made it!

Simon/Jim

Thanks! I'm still trying to find some of the edge I lost in Korea, but it's starting to come back. There is yet another new kit on the horizon. I'll be breaking it out soon.

Simon/Jim

It looks like we will be coming into Storvik tomorrow night from The EK (some DE, some NJ) for the practice. We will have 2 or 3 rattan fighters and 2 rapier fighters. Since it's inside the church, I assume we will be good to go, rain or shine. Aside from having non-marking shoes, is there anything ...

Simon/Jim

Yes, indeed. Athanaric can hit that same spot fast and hard. It has something to do with him being one of the aforementioned "silver backs", but he is also very technical. Hip turn and foot work, can't say it enough. The big strong mutants can get away with less technique but us normal sized mere mo...

Simon/Jim

Thanks everyone who came out for my challenge. I fought in every war scenario, then moved to the challenge field for my fights. I ended up getting 44 fights, when all was said and done, because 2 people came over after I had finished my 42nd fight. What a fantastic day. Looking forward to 43!

Simon/Jim

Good times will be had. Sir Rhys, I'll make sure to find you when I get to the East.

Simon/Jim

All right folks, Some friends and I have kind of a birthday tradition. On the day, we fight a matching number of fights as years since our birth. This year, I was in Korea on my birthday and due to a number of factors beyond my control, was unable to honor this tradition. When I found out I would be...

Simon/Jim

What am I training for: all of the above. Why? Because I have to. Too general? Ok, here ya go: SCA - I train for Tourneys and Melee/War. I will fight in every tourney I can get to when I move to the East Kingdom. Then, I plan to fight in EK Crown as soon as I meet the residency requirements. I also ...

Simon/Jim

Actually, I thought I'd just list my contact info here, just in case anyone shows up & wants to get in contact. It's jstackable@yahoo.com and my phone is 010-8671-2762.

Simon/Jim

Sir Guy,

Thanks very much. We are 14 hours ahead of the East Coast. It's 5pm Friday here while it's 3am Thursday where you are. I will PM my contact info to you. I really appreciate the assistance.

Simon/Jim

We are mostly in or within an hour-ish of Seoul. I will be here until October. The other main fighter here will be here until next year some time.

Thanks for the response.

Simon/Jim

Vilhelm,

If your children are that important to you, you're already a hero. Many have children and don't give a damn about them. Sounds like you're doing ok to me.

Simon/Jim

One of our 3 fighters is leaving next week. Is anyone else out here that hasn't found us yet? Also, does anyone know how to get in touch with Duke Stephan of Bellatrix? He is supposed to be here but no one has been able to get in touch with him. We have loaner gear. We just need some more fighters.

Simon/Jim

If you want to be the best, you have to fight the best. There are no shortcuts and there is no "Easy Button". After hearing everyone rave about what a BMF Nissan is, I started to think about this topic. Before I left Caid I knew I would have a year of very little fighting while in Korea, so I spent ...

Simon/Jim

Hmmm, I fought a ton before I left Caid. Here is my 2 pence. I based this on who I went and hunted down for awesome pick up fights and who made my heart beat a little faster if I drew them in the list. No real order but gotta go with Duke Edric Aaron Hartwood at the top. He's the guy that can make y...

Simon/Jim

Awful pretty. This thread makes me think of a couple of things I can hardly wait for: 1-Getting my act and $ together to have Vitus make some kick ass stuff for me. 2-Going to Pennsic and tracking down Nissan to see if he's really that awesome of a fight. BTW-Vilhelm, if you want a hero, be a hero. ...

Simon/Jim

So, I'm currently in Korea. We have only 3 actual fighters that I have seen in armor. One leaves next week to move to Europe. We have a practice or 2 per month. I have gone back to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as a way of staying semi-combat ready. I go to the gym and do cardio and lift 3 days a week and do ...

Simon/Jim

Sir Rhys,

Where will you be in the East? That is where we moved. I am currently in Korea for a year, but Margaret and our son are in Delaware. I will be there permanently in October. It would be great to see you and your lady.

Simon/Jim

Actually Kieran they are two very distinct types of footwork & stances. It wasn't until after I figured that out & changed my stance that I started to see improvement in my heavy fighting.

Simon/Jim

I think Don Alexander has it nailed. Work on changing the footwork, use a center grip, plus in my opinion don't use a stabbing tip for a bit. Great weapon and spear are also good options. A lot of it though, depends on his abilities and interests. I also started off with rapier and to be honest, I s...

Simon/Jim

I fight a lot of sword and buckler. The one thing that nobody has talked about much yet is, getting in close. I mean really close. In my experience, you have to be close and very active with the buckler. A couple people mentioned binding, that works very well, but again you have to be close. I reall...

I'm going to be leaving for Gildenholt this afternoon. I need to know if I need to take my truck down to pick up the tent. If you can contact me asap to let me know, that would be great. Or if anyone has contact info so I can contact Cordex, that would be cool too.

Simon/Jim

I didn't notice the name on Jason's post. He and Tracy already have this basic tent. I'll talk to Lex about it in the morning.

Simon/Jim

Sorry I figured that saying I would pick it up would indicate I wanted Dibs on it.
