Emailed them about their Mr. Grandy. Cruised their website - they might just be a perfect fit for us! Looks like they send out fencers to all types of tournaments right up to the Olympics. I wonder if they have venues for full-contact fechtenbuchen longsword fighting tourneys for the public? I will ...

we were always nervous when The Experienced Ones (y'all) were in town.

Phone just rang.
I have an experienced King of Arms and Chief Jousting Judge.

Hi, The matched polehammers I've made are matched SCA polehammers. Sadly I don't have the time to do other things other than SCA heavy fighting (like jousting, WMA, etc...). My kids are growing up and I want to be involved a bit more in their lives. Thursday is Brownies and Tuesday is Boy Scouts, a...

Jonny Deuteronomy

Just trying to be inclusive.
That's why I do this in public...so people can help guide me down the 'right' roads. thx!

GSM Bristol?

I worked for REC for 4 years here in VA in the 90s.
3 of those years were in our GSM.

Howdy, Cousin! (waves)

Here's the website link to the Academy:

That is about 15 minutes away from where I am sitting.

Wow. I wish I had heard of them in time to tell them about this:

Wow!

Thx everyone!

What is Bumpers? How do I find this remarkable Mr. Grandy?
Oh ok - Sword Forum - check.
I hope they don't shred me over there like we do to people over here... (j/k)

LOL

Jonny Deuteronomy

thx, brother

If Charron is as personable and professional as Price that would make such a decision difficult.

Jonny Deuteronomy

I am feeling comfortable with letting untaped and unbasketed and otherwise unmodified rattan clubs in the steel melee next year . wrist lanyards allowed. (there are pics of those in King Rene's Book) Unless something changes, we will also be using these for that, next year : m m m m and maybe these:...

Crew Call is 9am sharp, please. If you are late you will have to pay to get in. "Places" means places, people. SO NO BS PLS. We have a really big shew planned for you folks. Goodness gracious...I feel a song coming on: For the benefit of Mr. Kite There will be a show tonight, on trampoline...

whoa brother! (sound bite of needle screeching across a vinyl record) i am talking about next year for 'all steel all weeekend'! the Unmodified SCA-ish-style Melee is on for this Saturday @ 1230hrs! sorry for any confusion! eleventy-thousand apologies! please come and debut your spifftastic harness ...

Jonny Deuteronomy

Not necessarily. Not if there is enough hue and cry to leave it in the itinerary. My goal here and forerver more is to make these as interactive and fun for as many people as I can possibly accomodate. I am open minded. I might let Dagorhir (adult boffers) have a go too then. Rattan without tape loo...

Jonny Deuteronomy

What a small world. Just talked to that fine gentleman yesterday but forgot to ask about what you said. Will get back in touch -w- him. thx! What I am really looking for is a someone to teach us all in person. I wonder if Syr Strykgar would be up for that...hmmm...I trained under him pretty rigourou...

As it should be. God save and keep you all on your upcoming travails.

Is there a professional (WMA) Fiore and/or other Fechtenbuchen Teacher in the Washington DC Metro area? I and some of mine want to go into full-time-year-round training for cap-a-pie-steel. Thanks in advance.

Jonny Deuteronomy

Can I have a proxy knight or foster knight or my knight's knighted squire brother or my grand-knight stand up for/with me instead of my own knight who is required elsewhere at present? (just tryin ta halp, YIS and all that)

UPDATE: Next Year's Grand Champion will be decided by combining points won in a 2-day day travail of both ground and mounted combat. (both melee [warlord tourney and crested helm behourd] and singles [at barrier and at tilt] in both styles) ALL WITH STEEL WEAPONS (except same blunted au plaisance la...

much like Ursus, you are the kind of friend people brag about. My goal is to chop it all into something suitable enough to take to Spike TV in April. We would love to be the opening act for the UFC. We WANT WMA in the Olympics and we want it NOW . They have much dumber shite than this in there alre...

UPDATE: both ground and mounted steel weapons melee for East Coast Champions 2 - goodbye to rattan and duct tape and ugly basket hilts - just not period enough

Jonny Deuteronomy

The irony never ceases. When I booked this, I looked at the online schedules for the SCA, Markland and Dagorhir. As they all stood 6 or 8 months ago, there were no conflicts I could discern. Huge wars in Mississippi never entered my thinking. Drat. Shucks. Next year I will book it for after Gulf Wa...

Planning on it. Don't know how many I will bring though. Can you bring any videographers/photogs perchance? Someone looking for lots of color and movement for practice if nothing else?

Jonny Deuteronomy

Aye. Correct. IIRC, use of earlier period-style armours and togs for (one-off) tourney events in the late Medeival and Renaissance period is a well-documented practice. Within the context of this tourney, you are considered to be fighting in a 'costume'. Someday I want to reproduce a joust that recr...

Thanks for the good advice. Marketing requires money. Maybe we will have some for that next time.
