Re: Question for two-handed sword fighters...

Re: Question for two-handed sword fighters...

.... Second, I was a high school and college athlete, as were several of our fighters, and I do not want to cross check, or be cross checked, to the chin with a great sword. If I am allowed to hold a length of blade between my hands, it is difficult to legislate a ban on cross checking and seem con...

Interesting that your "crappy SCA shield" is built pretty much exactly like the "high-end living history group" shields... goes to show there can be much crossover when things are done well in the first place. Sorry, have to butt in. The differences between a wooden SCA shield a...

Ok, I am on the couch after fricken knee surgery again. So, first off it is not due to SCA fighting, knee fighting etc. It is due to mileage as a retired US Army Scout after 24 years.

Livitasia, consider this aspect as well in a Crown tourney. The fighter is advancing the honor and advantage of their consort.
