flonzy, ive studied "fighting" videos for more than half my life (4 years of boxing, 12 years of sca) and i was commenting on the movements of the weapons and the bodies using them. they both look slow to me. again, the videos on that site are crappy quality and too short to be of any use. its not t...

lacrosse pads by themselves are not enough. i have personally injured some people through them and have received some injuries while wearing them. if you are going with the leather things you should put something behind them but i dont think you need so much. a nice volleyball elbow should do it. le...

i dont think it would stop anyone from doing stupid, malicious, senseless, idiotic, or cowardly things to the videos. hell, its already been done once. and that attempt was as pointless as it was moronic im not really sure how i feel about people making copies of my stuff to give to other people. if...

i will be. probably just put them out on a website with a paypal tag to cover shipping and the replacement of the dvd-r. dont know yet. will be working on it some this spring and hope to get a few test copies out for people to give me feedback on. some training dvds and some "good to watch" dvds. re...

those files are out there in several places. but no, i think they served their purpose and cleared the air. i did put them in part of one of my practice dvds (practice by which i mean learning how to use the software) to the tune of dmx "bring your whole crew". it was funny to watch in slow motion a...

i would love to discuss this with you at pennsic flonzy. go over some of what you are talking about and see some of your wrap defence. i think the way most people in the sca (98% = most) teach their students how to throw wraps is poo poo. of course i had to get some major surgery done to repair the ...

does anyone have any decent quality video of "full force" aemma stuff. i looked at the short little snippets on that site and the are small files and poor quality. its just very hard to get a feel for it with them. shots dont look hard at all to me but, again, it might just be the file size/quality....

dukelogan

wellllllll...... after filling up about 72 gig of space i have finally converted a lot of my video stuff to an electronic format. i have also learned a great deal about the software that came with my dvd movie creator but had no instructions with it. and, i have spoken with a lot of guys that seem r...

actually they are not. basically, bamboo is a grass and rattan is a vine.

dukelogan

yep thats the plan. the stainless line will actually run through the false "stillage" leg i put in the rear (it will be hollow). this will allow the line to run out and under the bar top to the concealed keg and co2 tanks held underneath. i was goign to put in a petcock of some kind to drain the mel...

correct only the 150' of stainless coil. i cut half of the bottom out in order to hinge it as an access door. cant really fit a cooler inside it unless i somehow remove the whole bottom. picts at: m m It will never hold beer, only ice for cooling coils? How do you plan to open it up to put the coils...

well now since there seems to be a wealth of informed persons around here let me ask this. i have a very large wooden barrel that i think was used for whisky. it is charred inside and i was concerned about explosion hazards when i first got it. i filled it with water for a few days (it leaked a litt...

dukelogan

actually it depends on the kingdom you are in at the time. here in atlantia we do not hit archers. they are touch kill. so just be sure grendal by checking you local regulations. and please, if nothing else, dress well. and it is my responsibility to try to persuade him to take a path that is knight...

dukelogan

thanks for the info. i doubt someone could drive a spear through a helm in reality (so little of sca fighting is) but if thats the way you guys do it thats cool by me. the key to why you havent had the dire consequences are your people. control is the hidden magic that some people seem to forget. it...

dukelogan

the rule seems very clear to me. in the first sentence it states "to strike an illegal target area". the head is not an illegal target area when defined as it is further in that same sentence "wrist, knee, hand, etc". "etc" would be shin, calf, finger, toe, ankle, whatever. if you have seen marshals...

dukelogan

thank goodness for cut and paste. unfortuantly he is looking at combat archery and not target archery. i sent the link where all the information can be found. too bad it wasnt target archery though.

studying a bunch of books on brain surgery without any direct tutelage or observation doesnt make you a brain surgeon. you can only learn so much by yourself when it comes to an activity that requires two people to occur. and the manuals are interesting in, and of, themselves but wont do much to hel...

an tir calls trusts to the entire head? not sure i would like the idea of a guy taking a spear, sight unseen, and clipping the side of my head. but i suppose i would get used to it if i lived out there with you guys. regards logan an tir calls the whole head. there is no face only and turning your h...

dukelogan

target archery is a noble and knightly past time and a skill set that is mastered by few. the rules for target archery are all pretty much the same with only a few kingdoms doing things a bit differently from the others. what kingdom are you in (or what is your modern location)? that way we can dire...

dukelogan

curious. can you name one kingdom and point out the specific rule to me so i can look it up? seems like another one of those situations that is impossible to gauge. in other words fighter 1 says he was ducking to avoid the shot completely. the marshal says "you ducked so it would hit your helm". per...

dukelogan

wow. all i can say is wow. the helm is a legal target and is proof against a thrust. one of the few realistic parts of sca combat and you wish it gone. you suggest that if you see a thrust coming at your face, and you have time to move your face from being hit, you should stand still and take the hi...

dukelogan

not sure i hope for anything but the guys doing the same thing at their opponents as was done at pennsic. in other words, guys who fight in helms with bad chin straps or bad padding should get their brows cut and their noses broken. its a contact sport after all. got my nose broken several times as ...

dukelogan

not known for my patience i dug a little deeper myself. i spoke with count valharic who was in charge of all marshals courts at pennsic last year and asked him. he said he heard of no issues with any related injuries at the bridge. he then contacted palymar (pennsic em) and asked him to look into it...

dukelogan

i guess i didnt copy my entire response as it seems to be missing. what i originally typed was that artists often paint things that are fanciful and a wee bit exaggerated. then, as an example, i mentioned the guy one handed cleaving a helm and skull in two with one hand. hope it makes better sense n...

dukelogan

nice job and for a total of $30 (cleats included) you cant beat them. a little black krylon will take care of the soles but youll need to do them every once in a while.

dukelogan

well (no doubt aided by the power of some deity guiding his hand against the infidels or some such thing). and all that one handed on horse. nice. i would suggest that the chopper is little more than some fanciful image the artist had in his mind. i do like the guts pouring out and all though. prett...

in case gaston doesnt make it back to this thread i thought i would ask if anyone can substantiate his claim regarding the bridge last year? not hearsay but actual facts. gaston seems to have some information that i missed and if its true then we obviously have an issue with helmets improperly inspe...

dukelogan

gaston, can you supply me with some specific facts regarding these several broken noses and strained necks. specifics like what caused these noses to be broken and where at pennsic this happened. were these battlefield injuries or market place sale induced injuries? weapons forms used, checks of equ...

dukelogan

trystan, your statement is unnecessarily inflammatory and quite untrue. most people in the sca are there to experience aspects of a history that they enjoy. the majority of those that serve others in the sca do so due to their work ethic and character. most that show feat of arms do so as a display ...

dukelogan

uilleag glad to see the idea spreading a bit. best of luck to you and thank you for doing this. i also like the format as that gives the guys a little more time than mine does. but i have a small window at pennsic to get on and off the field and that we get 150+ fighters signed in and fight it down ...
