Portable Pell Diagram
I know some of you already have this but I am still stealing this as my base design for an 2nd floor apartment friendly pell and I thought I would share it. I found it for public use on the HEMA Hacks FB page.

Re: Concussions and CTE
Sounds like the test should be run again. With correct materials made & mounted in a correct way (including straw padding cause why not right?), and using a far greater range of mounting systems and padding types. Would give a rather good set of data if done right.

Re: Continuing perspective from another sport.
Tiny place? One of the soccer guys has a whole footwork workout in less than a 3X3 space. If you have enough room to take a step, you have enough room for footwork improvement. It would not be prudent for me to do so right now if I also didn't have room to fall, which I do not. Trust me, I know wha...

Fair fight? Why would any of them do a fair fight? They're too smart for that. So why is the Samurai the only one allowed to maximize his skill set?

Re: Continuing perspective from another sport.
Reminds me I have been slacking on my footwork. I can feel it in my everyday moves. Perhaps after the move next month, when we have a yard again and are able to get a dog, I will have much more ability than this tiny place I have now.

Re: Rattan basket hilt size
With Milan's help I got most of the way through a baskethilt made for me (it's still in the "almost done" stage 8 mo later). Years spent wishing for a custom one, I should just have made one for me and bugger the look.
Smaller, better fitting ones always seemed to give me better technique anyway.

Re: What Really Happened at the Last Duel?
Read it. It made me cringe a bit where it started getting to the Vlad the Impaler (the 'short' version).
Was it written somewhere that death was served via a roundel dagger thrust under the chin after the faceplate had been ripped off?
