i can think of three shots that might fall into that category from last year. could you refresh my memory on which fight this was? sorry i just dont recognize the name. regards logan I don't know about hitting atlantian's with a tacticle nuke, but that arm shot you delivered last Gulf Wars to that o...

dukelogan

gabriel, surely you arent suggesting that a mere touch to the face with any weapon (short of a stun gun) would cause a man to stop fighting? the human spirit is not that soft. being an ex boxer i can tell you that a broken nose doesnt stop you from continuing to contest your will against the other g...

denting a 16 ga anything is very easy. being able to throw a blow hard enough to dent 12ga stainless takes skill and experience. i can and have dented 12ga helms although it is a rare situation that requires it. the times that i have had to throw blows that hard have all been out of kingdom at wars ...

oh i agree that a twist now and then is fun (well, the non nipple variety that is ) but my question is how do you judge someone as the "most chivalrous"? and do you actually mean most "chivalric" or the incorrect modern usage as most "courteous"? that is where i have always had an issue. most inspir...

hey guys.....

just to point out yet again.......

mundane means boring and commonplace

modern means, well, somthing curent day.

please enough with the mis-use of mundane when you really mean modern.

thanks! and next week we will deal with title stacking!

regards
logan

hey brennus, im really not interested in you nor am i interested in how you twist things around. i made my point and i dont feel like going over this with you in a tit for tat. your agenda regarding me is quite well documented and i dont feel like dealing with it again (you showed yourself in a true...

dukelogan

what i think you are missing here gabriel is the fact that many of us assume that our opponents are able bodied, that our opponents are prepared to fight, that our opponents are men of honor, that our opponents are courageous, that our opponents are good intent, and that our opponents understand the...

dukelogan

i have never advocated double elimination tourneys as a good or better way to do things. please cite an example of me every saying that. of course thats a rhetorical quest since i know how i feel about double elim tourneys. sca combat is not a study of period anything. it is a sport tat was created ...

dukelogan

and there are also a few examples in period of hand drawn missiles defeating men in cote armor (not hitting the armor but hitting the wearer). but that does not enforce the norm as it were. my point was, and remains, that the majority of tourneys that had a gallery to judge the worthiness of the com...

dukelogan

ahhhh the bastard. i love him so. but hes not too much for you to handle cyriac, he just takes a little getting used to. once that happens he is easier than most swords to use. his distant cousin bam-bam is a different story. i still hadnt gotten the hang of using that club yet. logan ps for those t...

dukelogan

but they are not "wonderfully period". what was common in period was that the fighters of the day would decide who was the most inspiring amongst them. often that was the one that received the second most valued prize in the tourney, sometime the most valued prize. but this was decided amongst those...

dukelogan

ahhh thanks. i will forward that info on to the guy who was loking for him. i couldnt imagine that he wasnt around anymore since his stuff is popular and the time i met him he came across as a very nice guy and one that cared about his business. regards logan Your Grace, You might want to consult wi...

dukelogan

yeah i saw video of ice castles and it looked more stupid than it has in a while. my guys did so so in my opinion. not nearly aggressive enough and they showed little control of the field. but with the limited area and the stupid rules i dont think i will yell at them too much. what sucked was the w...

dukelogan

the last crown list that galmr had. best two out of three every round with the junior fighter picking the weapons form. stupid and pointless. my right thumb was still on the mend from being torn in two a year prior and, strangely, all the guys i fought thought polearm would be the way to go. fooling...

dukelogan

hey gaston, let me know when this happens. i would be happy to trade three blows to my one punch. might even go better than that, like five to one. of course i wear no armor to speak of but that wouldnt change anything in the "test". oh, by the way, if lennox lewis punched almost any of the people o...

dukelogan

the email addy on that one is dead as well and its got some little link to a guy that was knighted on it but i think he was knighted some time ago. anyway, its not for me, i think egg stuff is crap as its all plastic and i have had both of my thumbs broken due to the crappy way they are built (well ...

dukelogan

appears to be a very old link from the looks of it. when was the last time you had positive contact at that addy?

logan

dukelogan

anyone have a current email address. the addy i have is bouncing and it is (eggarmor@aggressiveonline.net)

dukelogan

i actually do focus entirely on the weapon. i watch it as it starts its approach and keep it in site until it reaches a point that its pretty much committed. its just something i picked up from years of boxing. its funny when i watch boxing matches with non boxers and they get all excited about punc...

dukelogan

since sca sport combat is based loosely (very) on medieval tournament combat we dont really have any throwing daggers or knives since neither would have any effect on an armored opponent. unfortunately the rules that govern sca combat do allow for silly things like hand thrown rocks and axes to be u...

dukelogan

while my commentary was based on sca combat i will certainly address your questions in regard to "real" combat. while i was watching your left hand pull back hard for a swing with your sword i wouldnt care what your right hand did with a shorter ranged weapon like a dagger. i simply wouldnt be that ...

dukelogan

as a former boxer i assure you that the boxing you and your dad are doing isnt something i would suggest taking into a ring. while there are several schools of thought on the art, boxing is not something that can be effective while staring at your opponents chest. regards logan Well, I haven't actua...

dukelogan

the only thing worth looking at is the weapon that might hit you. watching the hips, feet, eyes, whatever does little service in sca sport combat. in real fighting its much the same. if you train your eyes to relax and follow the weapon you can time your defensive movements much much better. you als...

dukelogan

hmmmm cant remember when someone called my flat anything light.... logan :evil: How Logan looks at you when you call his flat snap light How I look when Logan's butt wrap hits me. How I look when I see a guy wearing Mad Max armor and carrying a madu coming out to fight me in the lists. How I looked ...

dukelogan

ok, count me in. i would be honored to help you both because i think the tourney is a good idea and, well, its yours. i would only ask that you dont stack my titles should you mention my name anywhere. either duke logan or sir logan but never duke sir (or just logan, im easy). just a pet peeve of mi...

dukelogan

yeah, a bunch of people told me i should sell them instead of just recouping the money for the dvd-r disks. i laughed at the idea but im looking at my video folder of captured videos and its already 39gig. that only covers five crown lists, one best of the known world, one pennsic champions, and fou...

dukelogan

whats your format going to be? monday sounds good. i think my squires tourney is going to be on wed again. i also think that it should be one year or less with the weapon format they enter with. what are you planning? if i dont have anything in camp keeping me from the field i can help you if you ne...

dukelogan

i just took a break from about three hours of capturing and editting. im hard at work and will hopefully have something soon to beta test with some freinds.

dukelogan

but dont forget that we have the shields that can not be destroyed, the arrows that destroy anything they touch, half naked idiots walking around, tuchuxs, wait i mentioned that..... i agree with you 100% that it is wrong. but then again i wrote into law here that somethings would no longer be accep...

dukelogan

my comments are based on my experience with un-choreographed full force martial arts (boxing, sca fighting). I would add that there is no correct way to train for either of these as it really is individual. first off, with boxing you are taught a few things. those basically are weight training, card...

dukelogan

sure can. this is a quote from the ruling: Participants that are residents of another kingdom are to be considered our guests and are exempt from this ruling provided they meet their home kingdomâ€™s standards. Newly transplanted citizens of Atlantia are to be granted a reasonable period of time to ...

dukelogan

im not sure what any of that has to do with my post george. perhaps you misunderstood the question i was asking him (which he answered)? regards logan <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Rev. George: just cur...

dukelogan

just curious since i have never heard of or met anyone making these claims, would you be willing to allow me to throw, full force, at you in your kit with one of your steel swords? meaning as hard as i throw rattan at my opponents? and please before the idiots wake up, this isnt a pissing contest or...

dukelogan

to make the only point that can be made in these useless arguments.... sca combat is the only one that is non choreographed, full force, fighting. pretty simple. orcs, lightening, fireballs, whatever. its not combat its playing. same goes for live steel no hitting dance moves. but to each his own. w...

all the blah blah blah aside. i spoke with val wed and if there is anything i can do for you please drop me a line. regards logan <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Vitus: One of my retainers is moving there. </...
