Re: Worst Pennsic XL Moments!
I had a marshall's court called on me in the Midrealm and without the help of my friends I would be out of this game now.

Re: Who will hand select rattan for me?
Heavier swords are good but you also can increase power by striking "through" your opponent. I teach my guys that all blows should lodge in their opponent's spine. If no one else chimes in for wood I will get you a piece.

Re: Worst Pennsic XL Moments!
I hate to agree with Balin. Really, I do just on general principles.
But anything that puts Fleig in a marshall's court is just wrong, in a deep disturbance in the force way.
I am not talking about the letter of the law, but rather gut feel, which has always served me well.

Re: A new type of pell...
I use a heavy bag not hooked at the bottom. It gets moving during a workout. It usually wears a shield of some kind, set as a lefty or righty. In war season it wears a big shield. It has marks on specific targets, armpit, neck etc.
