I was thinking a pair of those elbows would look good with the black and white kit for SCA fighting. Styled to match, of course. Both sets of spaulders end in about the same spot and angle, so the same attachment points should be feasable.

Okay, I'll hop on this train... I love to fight rhinos. I do. I feel it gives me license to beat them like the wife on an episode of Cops when they're not taking blows. I don't jump straight to this conclusion. I'll give anyone a few fights before I make up my mind. Most of the fighters I've fought ...

There was a guy selling a mongolian style suit of the stuff here a while back. Found it: m It says it's still for sale.

Starting out in Calontir, I was going to fighter practices and learning the basics of every form I could get my hands on for 3 years before I even thought about authorizing.

I've only had the pleasure of fighting one Tuchux so far. I enjoyed it. He was one of the few people who didn't whine when I hit him really hard, instinctively trapped his weapon when he threw a bad shot, or fought left-handed. It was fun. :lol:
