https://youtu.be/OK_6ZRURIcw I have resolved my issue of uploading from iMovie 11 to YouTube so a slightly revised Crown Tourney Finals is now on YouTube.

Greetings, I have edited all of the fighting footage that I had from the October 2014 Crown Tournament and I have posted it to my YouTube account under my channel, "Andrew Lowry" There are a total of ten videos posted on my site for this most recent Crown. This makes most rounds less than ten minute...

I'm 55 and I have not stopped fighting in 24 years. Fighting motivates me to keep fit. A Knight in my household, 5 days older than me, is still fighting. I have made efforts to manage my weight and get stronger (lifting weights) so that I can keep up with the other (the majority younger) fighters. M...

I apologize for the poor framing. I seem to have a problem with this camera and I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Greetings, Under a clear blue sky and pleasant temperatures 16 noble combatants took the field for Ealdormere's 33rd Crown Tournament. The procession contained many good speeches including many examples of period poetry and prose. Many tears were shed. The Queen gave the Consorts each a live Trilliu...

Also, anyone got some 1/8" shank brass rivets, truss head or round head? I only need 6 and don't want a box of 200. So if I can send someone a couple bucks and get an envelope shipped to me that would be great. -James Magnan I have some Spaenaur "solid brass rivet round head 1/8 " dis x 3/8" lgth R...

Go here and read what he writes. http://fightwithallyourstrength.blogspot.ca He is SCA, specifically fencing but he of course knows fighters' needs too. I took some of his classes at Pennsic in 2013 and he knows his stuff. From his blog; "I am certified by USAWeightlifting as a Sports Performance Co...

Nice.

Larmer

Update. I've worn it to three fight practices and no harm done.

Larmer

Thanks for the input. My gauntlets would cover it. I think for now I'll take it off for tourneys. I may try it wearing armour agains the pell or in a practice, where I can control things better.

Does anyone have experience wearing a Fit Bit Flex while in SCA armour and doing SCA combat? http://www.fitbit.com/store I was given one for Christmas. It is on my left wrist (non dominant arm) and it will be covered by a gambeson and a steel vambrace on the outside (my arm harness only covers aroun...

Well not Mr. Oakeshott but it shows a cartwheel.

Thank-you. Dan, I'm not writing a paper as this is a verbal presentation. Over time I do expect to have a set of talking points and references in point form for my benefit and eventually share with the students. I'm pessimistic that it will happen this year (rather swamped at work). Master Galleron ...

Greetings, Can anyone provide me links to historical references to Men at Arms (armoured Knights) being very agile in their armour? There was an account IIRC of a French Knight who would climb the undersides of ladders in full armour (suspended by his arms). I've also read of young Knights leaping u...

bumping this so I can return later to consider.

Bump for future reference.

Thank-you for the classes at Pennsic. I only got to the first two (too much going on to make the later classes) and I found them informative.

My video is now up on You Tube. Fighting starts at the five minute mark. http://youtu.be/xkSAeMZxJsU

Larmer

I have posted my video of the most recent CotT on You Tube. It is just over eight minutes long and the fighting does not start until the 5 minute mark. Lots of footage of armour, which we all enjoy looking at. If you watch the video I would appreciate ratings and comments. http://youtu.be/xkSAeMZxJsU

Larmer

Tagging this for future reference.

Larmer

Interested too.

Larmer

Thanks. Is there a master list of all who fought this year?

Larmer

Good to know. Shared in Ealdormere.

Larmer

Has anyone tried this either in combat or other sports? Not sure if I would want with a bar grilled helm but many inside a closed faced.
