Re: Does this count as calling it light?
I wish to elaborate further: Sometime ago, some of you, in preparation for the battle of nation, tried to fight with rebated. They tried hard because it is known that battle of nation is a full contact event with rebated. If you go to see the thread you will discover that they chewed their swords v...

AWP was made of awesome. My Ballista crew are murderers. Props to Aethelmark for stepping up their game and making a real fight of it this year. Did better than I have seen them in years. Henri's guys and Sablemaul pulled more than their weight. A few 10.5 foot spears on the field added some spice. ...

Re: SCA Combat Training: Flat Snap, foot position
I don't throw a hell of a lot of flat snaps, but apparantly when I do (at 2:53) I do a little heel raise. Hits with plenty of ooomph though.
Other stuff, sometimes heel up and sometimes down and sometimes completely in the air. (4:40)

I use a natural "fight like I walk" footwork.

I'm probably too nice, but I'd just like some clarification on how you guys pull of not being nice, and not being considered an ass by the general public.

Ciaran, It was one of my major hang-ups for a while too. I had to make a choice to "not be nice" for a while in order to get over it. There were quite a few people in Caid during that period who expressed that it was no longer fun to fight me, or that I needed to consider the other guy in...

Re: How do you deal with bruises?
After I bruise people I deal with it by apologising with apparent sincerity.
Oh, you mean on me? I wear a lot of armour. I seldom get a bruise.
