Unless we decide to bury our heads in the sand, we must look at the SCA for what it is. Not what we desire it to be, or even what it claims to be. It is a predominantly pre 1600 (with no early cut off) re-enactment that has its warts: some pirates, lots of 'wenches' and a few people running around i...

D. Sebastian, I thought this was a good technique but all it really does most of the time is allow your opponent to attack your buckler arm. Then you're not "pinning" with authority. The pin (edge of your buckler on their shield) is an attack. I normally place and then give a big punch/press. This ...

Iron Chicken is a guard where you table your shield infront of you and hang your sword across point down. Picture yourseld about to do a molient. The sword is covering the shield side, the basket protects the head.
