Hey Hjalmr, when you killed that guy in the ravine at GW with your spear -with one hand- I about crapped myself laughing. Great job!

Short Killer from Trimaris

What is the name of that short squire from Trimaris who wears red, white and blue and who uses a rectangle shield. He does a crapload of pickups at every Gulf Wars. Awesome guy.

Replies: 51

Fighting "period"....
1. Kill or capture the other guy.
2. Achieve the counted blows or broken lance.

Fighting with documented techniques that have been interpreted in solid academic fashion...
1. Stick to the manuals.

How's that?

People drift into "Spinal Tapping", but it doesn't happen that often. If we are talking about people who will go to any lengths to win, I would say that cultural mis-communication is the cause of alot of confusion and tension. But as for outright idiotic cheating, I have only seen non-SCA people do ...

The best fighter should win the highest praise. Prizes and praise for acts of gallantry and courtesy are great, but make sure that he who jousts the best be praised above the rest. Don't let the more accurate tournament formats become a popularity contest. Have multiple judges- one for Prowess, one ...

You know, that is a GREAT point. I just had not considered that.

However, the second that the other fighters in my group discover that the square shield o...

My Earl Marshall passed mine. If you know the limitations of your gauntlets, you should be fine. Well-made finger gauntlets are at least as safe as hockey gloves, although they should be padded if possible.

Well, this is just another example of a historically fuzzy idea becoming an cool and successful SCA virus.

There are limits to everything. The rules for a particular type of combat are not limiting me, because I have tried to move beyond the SCA as sport combat.

By blocking with the basket, you are actively betraying medieval practice. We need to try to stay as close to medieval models as is convenient and safe. Actively blocking with the basket is simply bad swordsmanship. If you are trying to study swordsmanship, and not batonmanship, you should avoid blo...
