Keep trying on the disability. It took my dad a few years and my times applying. He got very discouraged. Just couldn't figure out how is heart conditon and age wasn't enough. Some, friends of his and friends of friends that get disability, told him to document everything that is wrong with him. Not...

That would be me and Olaf Haraldson. Here's better quality: m It was a short rainy practice, torrential at times or nearly. So, didn't get to use the other flail made to Eastern spec. Next week. Now that they are both to the Eastern guideline, I should have some video next week. Currently they are u...

Is your heaviest hitter experienced in the use of flails ? Uh, who is? Okay, who is that is under say 40? I'd have to day most of us are not. Including the fighter mentioned. I do think that someone who is experienced could be especially effective with it, even after most of use learn how to defend...

My mace has a medium Kong Stuff-a-Ball toy as the head. The large size should be okay too. Same sizes in the original Kong toy are used too.

I don't like getting hit either. Block!

What about it didn't you like?

Christophe de Frisselle

Yeah, the flail head in only going to be 8 to 10 oz., rubber, and hollow. It feels similar to my kong mace. Only the mace head is on a rigid rattan haft and can follow through into an impact. Where the flail head bounce out and away on impact. Lord Richard, Could you post those pictures in a more pu...

Christophe de Frisselle

The Kongs I'm using are the Stuff-a-Ball Kongs, like I have as a mace head and as seen earlier in this topic. While Lord Richard was referring to and using the original beehive style Kongs. The large size as he later corrected himself. Also, the one we played with the most at practice was the first ...

I also use to get tagged in the space between my floating cop and my vambrace. -Justus Some years ago, I saw Vicount Sir Karl VonSussen do that very thing to Baron Sir Stephen Grandchamp. Sir Stephen got to go to the ER for that. His own ER at the hospital where he works as an RN, from an event on ...

"Mi'lady, before you squirt that water in my mouth, which I sure could use in this sweltering heat, can you show me you Safe Serve certification." Well, I think this is good. I almost that that this is that was going to happen to children's activities. Since it seems that every time the SC...

Wear tighter fitting armour.

Here is my mace.

Here's an action shot.

Christophe de Frisselle

It works okay. It takes abit for everyone to get used to the feel of the hit and lack of sound.

I am currently in a discussion about leg shots in SCA rules. Please give me your interpretation of the results of the following situation: 1) Fighter A is legged by a sword blow and goes to his knees. From he knees what movement is allowable? Knee walking? What? None. They have lost the limb below ...

So, How about inertia now? How long did it take you to hit those balls from guard? Power means nothing if your hit lands second.
Did you try combos? How did each sword move/flow from one shot into the next.
I assume all the swords had the same hardware, length, and balance.

I use a Sony H2 camera. It's a photo camera with video modes. With a memory stick Pro duo it can record 640x480 at 30 fps. I use a 4 gb card which gives me 53 minutes of video.

Can you imagine Duke William's army armouring up/down during his conquest of England? Thousands shiming in and out of their mail. Historical sights you never really think about.

Lapsed for 3 whole days! R&D them post haste! I did not realize we has such good record keeping and reporting to pick up on a 3 day lapse in membership. Must be just for those that enter crown lists and sitting royalty. I've never even heard of officer's booted from office for a membership lapse.
