Dmitry, I wasn't out there fighting this year, but I was the line marhsal right at the sideline where the combat happened. From what I could see the mid made the same two mistakes they've made in several previous battles. They punched the middle the middle and didn't capitalize on it immediately (re...

See that’s the thing V, I don't know whether its "just smack talk" or not. We've talked before about how different the culture of the North East is from your area.

I've seen folks get away with backwards and side rolls. Remember that your doing something unexpected. This can bother a lot of folks Although it might reduce the likelyhood of it working I'd suggest warning your opponent befor the bout.

How folks interpret grappling depends a lot on your area Edwin, and even then it will still vary some. The East has probably the most limited interpretation I've run into. Its only grappling if you grab. In other areas anything other than a percusive strike with a weaopon to a body part seems to dra...

At during the Sword and Buckler tourney at Pennsic we used a rule that the hands couldn't be specificaly targeted but if they were struck it was a good blow.

I agree with a lot of what your saying Cheval. But I don’t think the marshallate is just doing to much, I think its also doing to little. We are supposed to be attempting to recreate medieval combat, so we should be trying to look at history and trying to recreate (i.e do the same) for what we can...

Dissident opinion here. Only worry about this if you care about historical heraldry and don’t mind being a little different SCA heraldry and historic heraldry overlap but are in some cases exclusive.
