Once upon a time I wanted to fight like a Knight, now I HAVE to fight like a Knight.

I am sworn to be formost in battle.

I have trained harder and fought more since I was given the belt than I ever thought I could before; to do any less would be to break my vow.

Duke Gaston de Vieuxchamps of Trimaris.
I have watched him win LOTS of tourneys with every weapon style out there... then change to right handed and do it again.

BTW: he is currently our Crown Prince. He won 3 months (I think) after suffering a broken sword arm.

Any word as of yet?

Freiman,
How about useing the side/top of the helm to create a glance?

Ceddie

I buy my buckles from tandy or I use repro buckles from kingskeep. When I buy from tandy, I spend the extrs coin and get the solid brass buckles and I use the (I think they call it) heel bar buckle. the plated steel ones are crap but I haven't had one of the brass ones break yet. I wish I could get ...

Far out! Oldenfeld is a great group to call home, I can't wait to meet you. If you like, gimme a call and we can help you learn a bit about Tally. As far as the fighting goes: We fight a bit farther outside. We call lighter to the face (1/2 ish power cuts) I think you will be fine (850)878-7565

Ceddie

Should you decide to do a run I could use one (or maybe 2) set (s). I don't know about the eyelets that would depend on the price.

Ceddie

what size will the chapes fit?

Ceddie

DAMN!!! I wish I had the $$$, I'd buy it as a second for Chelle.

I have bought shoes from http://www.turnshoes.co.uk/ a few times, shipping for one pair to Fl was about 8 bucks. They make a good shoe for the price but if you can I'd buy from http://www.revival.us/ .

Side note: I fight in my shoes from http://www.turnshoes.co.uk/ and have for about a year, they hold up just fine to wear and tear.

Ceddie

Yep. I have a nice looking pair in pine made by Mike Spivey. Trestles can go from crude to elegant based on period iconography. They friction fit together from 3 parts: the A-shaped frame, the top stretcher, and the back single leg.

Bonic is WAY COOL. He has no end to his talents!

My Brother Gaston,
In about a month, I should be ordering another belt. And I will gladly send you as much bussness as I can.

Ceddie

Please, guys, remember that the G. E. staff is SUPER CRAZY BUSY all the time. ALL the time. That may be but they should remember that as well when they quote delivery times. If they had said 12 weeks, I would have been pleased as punch with the timelyness of the shipping. All I ask is people do wha...

II:

Actually I was speaking of a very real situation I faced in a melee. I was facing multiple opponents on basically 3 sides. (all within the 45 degree rule, but just barely).

What 45 degree rule?

Ceddie

The finals of crown a few years back.
That fight still haunts me.
