voice of experience here chiropractics are whacks that do more damage than good. far from anything that even resembles medicine. that said, fine a real doctor. go see an orthopedist and get an mri done to find out what actually is going on and then fix it. best of luck logan

well i guess the last dozen years are, technically, the past. and i do hope you know that i appreciate the work and effort you put into your personal representation at sca events. maybe you, and others in yoru group, have inspired more than is evident at a glance. i shall try to look more closely in...

remember that you are not dehydrated until you are thirsty. also, drink the coldest water you can. it hydrates you more rapidly and more completely than any other temperature. sugar is a fine quick fix but try complex carbs for a workout. caffeine is your friend. many other drugs are as well. email ...

i have one "starter" type shirt (that sucks) and three true 'underarmor' brand shirts made for law enforcement to wear under their body armor. they are pretty scarey. meaning, they pull all the sweat away from me. if you know me you know i hate anything above 20 degrees and i swaet in the shower. so...

when i tore two of the three tendons in my left ankle my doctor put me in an eso brace (brand name). it has two straps that cross over the top of the foot at the ankle and then go under the heel and up the sids of the calf. then there is a large strap that goes around the calf to hold them firm (alt...

ask him to give you the rule/guideline/law he believes is violated by the use of it. if he does (which he wont) please post it here. personally i find the stuff to be of little use but i dont think it would be illegal anywhere unless its a specific kingdom law. if so, i would like to read that law f...

well since escrima fighting is training to fight with two machetes against other mostly naked pilipino farmers i would guess they dont worry about powering through any sort of armor. regards logan For what it's worth, most of the body mechanics of my style are based on Judo. I played it while I was ...

hey dark victory..... isnt dark apprentice your hero? not duke alaric..... logan (who likes duke alaric but deals with the reality of being much cooler than him on a daily, if not hourly, basis) I'll probably have an 18 ga spring steel gothic suit done in the next few months for myself- full legs, p...

go 14th century english germanic peoples!!!!!

sorry, what was the question?

regards
logan

dukelogan

hell yes! we do need more proper english - germanic 14th century personas. everyone knows that culture/time was the true highlight of the middle ages. 8^P logan Oh Jeeze... by far the fourteenth century... nobody wears that stuff anymore... We need to see a large uprising in the 14th cent armour...

dukelogan

sorry to hear that. like i said, he was always cool with me but that was back in the day after it was back in the day so to speak. then five came out and i had enough. hadnt seen him since then. not surprised though, he always thought himself a big time rock star more important than most. but i know...

dukelogan

i did some security for the guy back during the lucy fudge tour. never had any issues with him. of course when things went bad, really bad, at rockafellas in columbia i was able to get him out to the van in one piece. so maybe he liked me for that. regards logan Glenn...what a pain in my ass that gu...

dukelogan

russ has it dead on. i would add that unless the martial "art" you are engaged in actually does strike full force instead of simply following half strikes and other dance moves it will not do a lot of good in translatign to sca sport combat. its the same thing as pretending to slug a baseball. if yo...

Hmmm. Where can one find an Arnis teacher?

dukelogan

dead on in my mind. i would do exactly the same thing and then i would work on getting the power levels up across the board to a more reasonable level (getting rid of silly touches to the grille being called, wrist flicky games of tag, etc). i dont think you need more than a proper helm, metal knees...

dukelogan

most of my combos start with flat snaps if you are talking about blows. my combos actually start well before that as i view a combo as a set of movement not actually blows alone. but the first shot is usually a flat snap. that is very different from a few years ago when i threw the off side as my op...

dukelogan

ill see if i cant set that up at pennsic. regards logan last time i saw helmut he was doing very well. bryce certainly has potential but still has some bad habits that he needs to overcome. his on side attack is not a threat and that, i feel, limits his effectiveness. his off side attack his constan...

dukelogan

you could very well be right bryce. i will have to review my copies from crown and study you a little closer. in a completly heterosexual sort of way i assure you actually if you have any more recent tape of your fighting i would love a copy. you are always welcome to come down here any time for som...

i thought i would add whatever support i can to his grace alarics concerns. i agree with what he said and i too would like to find a way that combat archery can be included in a safe and equal manner. currently i find combat archery as it is practiced in the sca to be neither.

yeah i got what she meant to say. however, what she did say was that he was better than the top 15. that, clearly, is not what she intended to convey. its no biggie, hence my emoticon smiley face. speaking of emoticons (i do hate them, but im forced to used them. its like a sick calling) how come we...

dukelogan

not sure how one can be better than the top 15 since that would include the number one slot as well. hopefully ill get some video of him soon as i would like to see how hes doing. rolands character both on and off the field is to be applauded. regards logan Duke Logan: So far I have heard and seen t...

ive not had a problem with jonathans acknowledgment level. i think he takes blows at the upper half but certainly not out of the range of reasonable. he is, however, an irritating fighter. his defense is stout and his power is commendable. he is 6' 29" (or somewhere in the stratosphere) is capable w...

i have fought against, and used, the calontir army at several wars and i dont think da's report card is that far off. the commentary about calontir being the best was indeed posted: I'd have to say MY unit is the best one.

im sure trystan offered that in jest. regards logan ps the correct spelling of my house is "ebonwoulfe". the correct spelling of the house that i was part of that is pretty much defunct now was "shadowoulfe". blame me for having the name derrick. its spelled some many ways that it has become a poitn...

ok colin ill follow gastons format (hope this is what you are looking for) 1) "My Lord, what did you think of that blow you just hit me with? I'm unsure if it was good or not." how should i know? it didnt hit me. ready? (all with a smile on my face) 2) "My Lord, what did you think of that blow I jus...

dukelogan

yeah colin, im sorry i took the question wrong as well. im with odo on this one. i dont mind it if my opponent asks me about a shot in a purely curious way. but if the guy is a toad and bellyaches because he thinks a shot was good im more than likely going to enjoy the fight much less afterwards. so...

dukelogan

i dont worry about my opponent. the rules say he is to be the judge of my blows. i only concern myself with the blows that hit me. either way i dont ever consider someone a cheater in the scenarios as you describe them. its not my place and it sure as hell isnt the marshals place. regards logan

dukelogan

lots of stuff bounces off it. usually just the bad guys. regards logan Logan, your shield weighs three times more than a medieval knightly shield. I bet stuff don't bounce off it, though. I really don't like those huge shields, but that is only my opinion. I like the fluidity that comes with smaller...
