i agree and although i would have no problems going to full force face thrusts i would rather just deliver, and recieve, a shocking jab. but there are plenty of folks, and some entire regions, that demand mere contact or at most a light touch as good. regards logan ive never suggested you couldnt ki...

dukelogan

ive never suggested you couldnt kill someone by jambing something through them. it is the death by mere touch that i want gone in sca sport combat. it exists because some folks think its too dangerous to face thrust someone hard (which we know is untrue) or because they think light taps or gentle th...

dukelogan

we should hit hard, always, or we need to change the description of our sport combat. taps and touches are simply opposite of every aspect of our combat. as such they muddy the spirit of that combat. i do not understand how someone who will accept a tap or touch could ever call a shot light. if the ...

dukelogan

a simulation is, by default, a game. what we do is fight without planning. none of this "so when he does this, you do this". non-choreographed, full speed, full power (except in a few places but they are the vast minority), and with an expectation of a force level that negates touch. signo...

dukelogan

again, ive never once said that a hard shot to the head may not cause severe injury. as a boxer i know it can. what i asked you for is evidence of a light touch kill. our rules state that blows are considered "good" if it is resonable to suspect they would cause death. not my rules, but th...

dukelogan

find one. find one example of the human body being so fragile as to suggest that a light tap to the face with a weapon would do anything, much less kill or incapacitate someone. the trick here is that ive never suggested the human body can take everything thrown at it. never said that. what i mainta...

dukelogan

thats good to hear. its been a little while since ive broken one somebody was using and ive talked with the guy who maks a lot of stuff for zen and he really left me with a good impression of his character as a businessman. i would have used him myself but he couldnt get the materials i require (vir...

dukelogan

none of the lines are straight and ive broken several welds on them when people have blocked flat snaps from me. looking at the welds it was clear they didnt get a good burn or, in some cases, the bar stock was short and the gap filled with wire. such is india/pakistan quality. now the breaks have b...

dukelogan

yep, i already have that on my collection. i need the backstory on him and what, if any, damage he suffered (besde some stiches). im sure him, and the dozens of others i have already collected, just have super skulls since we know a light jab to the face with a pointy thing is auto-death. but the ba...

dukelogan

i assumed so since ive unfortunatly been exposed to the rare culture that thinks a real sword would do damage enough to stop a fight with a short flicky shot and he comes from a culture that, i think, plays our sport in the 90% norm. ive also fought sean, maybe both of them, and have no memory of li...

dukelogan

very nice angles and body switches but someone has got to teach me how to throw a shot with any real power without my hand ever coming any further back than 12" from in front of my shield. unless, perhaps, they were doing some weird anything that makes contact kind of pick ups. regards logan It...

i would add dietrich von stroheim and matthew of battle to that list. regards logan No idea about the East. Keeping in mind I've had some wine tonight and I'm certainly forgetting some great people.

great point! i hadnt ever paid attention to "archive time" before but that is something important to note. yes, at midnight tomorrow this will go to whomever wants it. i also noticed that someone had posted a pistol recently. i have a stainless mini-14 that im going to unload and wanted fo...

its goofy but not too bad. its not, however, the horror that is "....... whose honor you fight for this day". that is the worst. my inspiration is winning the contest i entered which has a scorecard. my wife inspires me in many things. as do my family. my friends inspire me as well. but wh...

quick update. i got a few emails from folks not on the archive asking for the current bid, asking if they can put a reserve bid in, etc. i realized that this could be a big problem if folks are trying to buy this helm and they have no idea someone else wants to bid $5 more at the last minute and im ...

dukelogan

true, sort of. the problem ive seen with most sca training is the lack of focus on the "striking" muscles in the arm. the triceps. hell it works in boxing (western and thai) and there are a number of women doing the former and whole ton doing the latter. bigger muscles do help, sure, but t...

ding ding ding! in our sport it doesnt matter if you sit down or stand up to pee. we are fighters. anyone who treats women differently than men is setting them up for disappointment. women that expect to be treated differently on the field are delusional. that said, i treat all new fighters the same...

currently almost all of our future sca events are being planned for atlantia. given that it takes us 7 hours just to reach atlantia they are kinda spaced out so its hard to say. if it ends up being yours we will figure something out of course. regards logan I'll throw it to $150. Also, what the next...

ok, so im sure im not doing this the best way. i have created a page with this helm at: http://ebonwoulfe.com/helm.htm there are a bunch of pictures on it and some more details. the pictures are horrid, i suck with this new smart phone thingy i have. the helm is way nicer than the pictures indicate....

for those of you (especially here in trimaris) that have stopped by our pavillion and asked about our chairs they are these chairs. nice work and they should make those of you in coleman chairs feel sick and embarressed.
