I'm a bit better with a razor than that. I could have been a contender if I could have mastered the foot part of controling the butt end. I had to search out someone with the style (bear) and skill to overcome that of Sir Justus (who mauls you like a grizzly bear). It worked for a while. Its the lac...

Oh my what am I now to do? The Master, the one who has taught me all of my glave skills has been found out. http://www.urlesque.com/2010/05/24/kung-fu-bear-the-one/?sms_ss=email

Hey Dude (Alejandro) I didn't see you at Penssic. Hope things are going well for you. Hope you thumped some folks with that stick. I've been using the tool dip to "flaten" the haft of my naginata to make a more stable base for the foam rather than shaving it flat. Every once in a while som...

My good Baron, I for one ussually come to Ymir, fight at Ymir, but don't take part in the tourney. I spend the morning with my kid and the afternoon in the greatest bearpit in the world. Whooopeee. What ever you decide will thrill some and peeve others. Unfortunately for my fighting enjoyment Master...

Being from Atlantia I've only used padded pole arms and accept any agknowledgement problems as part of the game( just like nearsighted referies in soccer). I like the ability to feel exacally where my blade is and in a tight place be able to run my hand op to but not onto the blade. I've use brush b...

I'm all about trying to move more and more towards a "look" that creates a more attractive and realistic illusion to the recreational activity that we participate in. I find that it is up to me to live up to my potential and set a good example for others as much as my finances, skill, and time will ...

I had one side of my face shattered playing that famous of noncontact sports, soccer. I took my helmat, sword, and pictures with me to see the doctor so as to impart the best impression of what we do. A week before I was suppose to be cleared to practice again I took part in the fighting classes at ...

I work for a municipality. If you would just ask the signs shop I'm sure they would give you some of their cast offs or dog eared signs. It doest matter whether you pay local taxes or not, those signs are payed for by your entire community, not by just you. It will now cost your community(and you) t...

I plan on being there and giving what I've got. My time will be split between my 18 month old and you guys beating my japanese butt up and down the field. If the weather is acceptible my wife may play her pipes for a while. There is nothing that stirs the blood of a japanese persona as much as the b...

My wife (Bryn)(rhymes with grin) is leaving for pennsic on the 11th from Chapel Hill. <a href="mailto:brynsmith@earthlink.net">email her</a>. I am leaving on the 6th to set up Windmasters Hill's camp.

Sounds cool, les's do it. Can you make the bridges different widths so as to add to the thinking-stategy portion af the endever.

Try to have classes every at every meeting. Get the senior members of your group to teach a class each on a skill they have or the period or place they are from. Get the new people to do the same so they start learning about research. Have your officers teach about something that partains to their o...

I agree that this is a place for talking about, teaching and sharing ideas about armor, proferably authentic materials. I read different posts and try to learn from the vast body of knowledge and experiance here. BUT the tone and communication style of some post and individuals is apaulling. I wonde...

When I started years ago the loaner armor was mangled carpet with single metal cops duck taped to it and a helm as wide as my shoulders. Now we have a coat of plates, leather legs with articulated knees and 4 differnt sized helms (2 spun tops). We, the sca have matured and grown to the point to were...

Im interested in making a uchi-ne (japanese javalin) and kazuka knives. I have a tiny bit of information but am looking for more (ie size, shape and materials). Thanks.

Blender; two florentene fighters working together. Make um walk; when a duke points out an opposing fighter(usually belted) to a group of archers to have them make that fighter visit the reserection point as often as possible. White hole; when a two knights start to talk to one another,then every ot...

What is the deal with folks calling the use of a great(two-handed)sword as "katana". Is there something missing in the use of a European two-handed sword that needs somesort of oriental martial art to prop it up or is it just some new slang that clumps two totally different styles together. Just a q...

I wont be there (acl surgery), but I am donating a (pick-up)truck load of Japanese plant material (and instalation) as one of the prizes.Good luck, Matsuura Suetsune.

With any entry level person in any sport you dont throw them to the wolves. In rock climbing you teach them the ropes by starting with knots and simple traversing. You dont take them to Elcapitan for a multiple day climb. A new warrior, weather man, woman or youth (should) get some training before t...

I work for a municipality and can get all the retired, dog eared and bent signs I want. All you have to do is ask your local public works (great oxymoron) or your local D.O.T. if you can have their leftovers. They usually will ask you to not dispay or paint over the informational side of the sign. Y...

How many people really want to drop into that situation. Its interesting to fantisize about it. It would be the ultimate way to test your luck, skill and metal, but would you really want to be there. Everyone can agree on a few topics. No matter what group you participate with there is a risk of inj...

Of late I have noticed a change in my own observations of the S.C.A..It mostly comes from the perspective of maturity. For 18 years I have ghosted in and out of the S.C.A. for reasons of frist my own lack of maturity and knowledge and then for the lack of maturity and real knowledge in the society. ...
