This is an event thats held in mine shire. Me being the Knight Marshal for Rusted Woodlands it is expected that I would be there, but also no. I will not though it is turning to be a grand day from what is being discussed. This will be the first 100 minutes that I will miss since I started in the SC...

Sorry for my ignorance but what is a C&T tournament

Atreides

As a relatively new fighter, just under 4 yrs but taking the last 2 years seriously, I fought in my first Crown in the East. I knew that the odds were not in my favor, but I fought to win to be given the chance to serve the populace. It was an Honor to have fought in what is considered thee premier ...

Sparky, you Aesa and Adam were a joy at war just wish we had more time to hang out

Atreides

I have to say that this had to have been my best and most memorable Pennsic yet. On Tuesday of the Woods Battle I stood with my brothers in the Serpentius War Band Stopping pulses and defending HRH Duke Sir Darius. At one point and good gentle and I had an Exchange that I was backed into a tree as a...

Atreides

I think what is got me on the road to becoming a good fighter is the fact that I work hard at it, I train, I exercise, I eat right and I watch and listen. I push to evolve with every fight and not remain stagnant. My Knight says he can show me the way but it is up to me to do all the heavy lifting T...

I'm going to Gulf Wars for the first time camping with myself in a hotel room 15 minutes away. :) Traveling with my brothers in VDK to fight for the King of the East. Leonard 1 Leg ps if you like to fight a man in a wheelchair find me on the field. Leonard keep the scooter charged and send out one ...

Ok here's mine from yesterday, all I can say is i need to keep my elbow tight

Also being a relatively Newbie fighter I'll place my 2 pence in. I'm practically blind without my glasses so I fight shift eyed, my knight has me training like I was back in the cell to place my shots were I know my opponent should be. He's training me to play chess and move my opponent to where i w...

Actually its a common ailment amongst martial artist. The real issue is that the ligaments are stretched and you need a good strengthening program to tighten the muscles supporting the ligaments
A solid isometric or weight training program should correct the issue to an extant

Atreides

Loved the Walls kinda gave a more real feeling as they were getting stormed and wobbling

Seriously I thought they were great addition to the battles

Atreides

It was an interesting Estrella for me, I won't get too into the details but, Armor Bag lost on Wed, recovered on Thurs, Car impounded, and bad food at a Jack in the Box But all in all it was a great war, this was my Knights first Estrella and we had a blast. The hospitality of Calontir was definitel...

That is super sexy can't wait to see what it looks like when its done

I was introduced to Lady Tabi by my Knight we were scheduled for a dance on Saturday but we never met up.

I hope to keep my dance card ready for them at Pennsic

Atreides

It is that time that i leave my comforts of the East, the fire of my hearth, the warmth of my lady, and the love of my child to answer my Kings call and go forth under God's watchful eye. in less time than marching across the lands, I will be bound for the desert in support of King and lands i offer...

...And Might I add that a joint soother like triple flex or the like has been a godsend

i take that and a few other supplements daily and i don't have the creaky joints or the daily pain i hear often spoken about

I found this website an interesting read

[quote="Aaron"]Hi, I just KNOW I posted a thread on something like this a long, long time ago, but I couldnâ€™t find it to bump it back up. So here is the question again: What are the common SCA injuries? Any causes? Any suggested cures? Any suggested prevention strategies (with the exception of â€œ...

Leofwine, welcome to the East, hope to make your acquaintance at a practice in NJ/NY

Nice Greek Kit gonna definitely need to seek you out for a fight and an armor discussion

Atreides

I do a greek kit with a muscalata
I wear a long tunic with lacross shorts under the tunic and a leather skirting over the tunic. its light in the way of armor but its better than nothing

Atreides

Well this is the best pic I have of the new kit. I'm the guy in black with the bronze musculata, leather backed with the black skirting and a Brand Corinthian helm http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh56/jarkari/Birka%202008/DSC01304.jpg Here's another of me from behind [/img] http://i253.photobucke...

That indeed is a worthy tourney prize. i believe my knight mentioned signing both of us up for the tourney

great cause win or loose

Atreides

Just from what I've seen in the East the past couple of years, it seems the kingdom is a little more melee focused. (Melee equaling Pennsic) The war practices are always heavily attended, with a lot of top quality fighters. A few notable tourneys, such as Birka and winter wolf exist, but a lot of p...

Atreides

I don't wear standard leg armor outside of the mandatory knees. I do wear a light gage Greek leather skirting (Not much in the way of protection) I do wear a pair of compression shorts to keep my cup and thats it. Since Pennsic I even stopped wearing pants under my fighting tunic. I recently started...

Atreides

Why thank you Sir Geoffrey. As one of those westen fighters in Red baldrics please do seek me out as I plan to fight until I can no longer hold my swords, then take a break and repeat. I do hope to fight with all of you very soon. Daithi' The Renown of western fighters are often brought up here in ...

Atreides

Well, My Knight and I will be trekking West to fight and serve my King next week at Estrella War.

Are there any tourneys that I should look for and try to get into?

Look forward to laying stick and banter with you guys.

I didn't do too bad, would've done better if I didn't get hurt with and hour and a half left to fight. Took a nice hit to the shoulder that benched me left a very pretty bruise along the forward to rear head and onto the trap. Maybe I'll take a pic and post it before it starts to fade =p

Atreides

To be honest I'm my own worst enemy. there are a ton of fighters on any given day that can take me and I understand that but I've been fighting for 3 years and am still learning but I allow myself to get intimidated and then fight stiff around certain knights and OTC's but little by little with the ...
