Wes, in Ansteorra the side-sword experiments is getting a lot of support from the armoured and rapier communities. They are starting to allow percussive cuts to the body, do full body targeting for thrusts, and most of the rapier fighters in my area of the kingdom research and interpret heavily from...

The problem is two-fold in my experience: 1. Vambrace is too long. The vambrace should come down to about 1"-2" above the bones of the wrist. The area between that and the back of the hand should be covered by a gauntlet or demi-gauntlet with good flexibility. 2. Vambrace is not attached to the shou...

My experience agrees with Julian. There have ben shots I've taken to my plastic vambrace that have bruised me through it.

Upon reading the other opinions, I find that I also think that while putting it into law is good, that putting it into your culture will be more permanent and enduring.

So a 10" wheel on a 1800 RPM buffer would only give you 4800 FPM or so.... Not really sufficient?

Buffer Opinion Wanted
How big of a difference is having a 1800 RPM versus the 3600 RPM buffers going to make. The reason I ask is that there are several Baldor Buffers on EBAY for reasonable prices.

To reemphasize what the other have said, and what I've been taught by Sir Erasmus: 1. The madu/spear will be killing you 90% of the time. Spending energy and position to defend against it is worthwhile. Close the shield like you do in melees against the spears. You only have to worry about wraps if ...

[*] Learn how to block and beat using hip generated power [*] Pay utmost attention to the hand of the person across from you. The fight is different if you both have the same hand back versus different hand back.
