Well, if everyone else is taking the wristy flicky stuff, I'd be suprised if somone who's taking "old school" who had some reasonable skill didn't win. That's not in any way a slam, just a fact. I don't personally like full force face shots, but I don't like touch kill to the face either. I want SOM...

I'm always STUNNED when I see a fighter who gets legged literally pull his legs up to his butt and then DROP onto his knees. Woof...how dumb. I agree, slowly lower yourself down.

Question about the site...it states that helm halves welded and ground an extra $45. So a welded and ground single helm top is about $75, is that right?

A further reality is that often families are in the same socio-economic group and may tend toward jobs that are similar. Just because 7 Generations of the Dobie Gillis family were all coal miners and died of lung cancer, that doesn't mean the family had a genetic disposition toward lung cancer. http...

If you're serious, YES, GO TO A DOCTOR! Jeezus......you may have needed surgery a while ago. Worse, if you can't feel it, you may have permanant nerve damage.

Oh...a point on the side of those who don't like the SCA domination...this sub is re-ENACTMENT of medieval armed combat. Not re-creation. Of course, any fighting that's competitive isn't really re-ENACTMENT. But that's just my opinion. Maybe a new sub for re-creation. Then we can watch this sub die ...

Frankly, I think an icon that says NON-SCA ONLY would be MUCH more appropriate.

Icons should help identify a thread...if 90% of the discussions are SCA, then 1 of 2 things wo...

Ansteorra has s similar award called the order of the Lion. Each crown is allowed to make but a single Lion. The award charter says it's for persona play, but the reality is it's the award that all Ansteorrans consider to have the most honor, tho it has no armigerous rank.
