Re: Rude Salutes
The video surprised me, I would not have felt "saluted" after that. What I saw looked like a man who used the "salute" moment for pressing his "on" button. Now, my opponent is not obliged to salute me, it is just the polite thing to do. Ditto on that. From watching tha...

Re: Rude Salutes
On the infrequent occasions when I have a shield, I may do a big, attention getting slap. It's a show for the crowd, an attention getter that says "hey folks, we're ready to go here, you might want to watch this" and it says to my opponent that I'm ready to go. See, in my mind, that right...

Yeah, but you buy a PDF document. You can print that out or delete the file. Looks like this guy bought the PDF, and is selling printouts.

Re: Late 14th/early 15th century tent styles
I always figured that, much as an army foraged for food in the field, they traveled with basic tenting, and when they set up, a couple of saplings were acquired, stripped down, tied together, bent around into a big circle, and used to frame the loop of the tent roof. When the army moved on, the sapl...

What he said. They look to be another company selling the Marutake Sangyô/Kozandô armours.
I can't add a thing. They do look pretty good, though. One of the few replicas out there made by people with a clue.
