6'2"

and a not so svelt 256.

Would like to get back down to where I was when fighting 3 times a week, around 218=220.

Of course when I started (this last time anyway) I was 305.

Charlie, we need to get this man involved in a conversation between you and Trevor. :D

Yeah.

That'd be pretty funny. :) Coming down south, Sieghart?

Johno wrote:wow after 2 pages we are at 11,699 pounds of fighter for a rough average of about 220.

Crazy.

Hey! Cool. I'm under the average weight. Seems that recently I haven't been losing anyway, except inches off the waistline. I'd be happy with a little more there.

Probably.

And that reminds me, I've been meaning to pick your brain regarding the construction of some 16th century fighting pants since Glory.

I am 5'10" tall and weigh 175 lbs. I like to flatter myself with the conceit that I look pretty good with my shirt off.

I will be 32 years old in about two weeks.

I fight SCA rattan (have been doing so off and on for almost 14 years) and occasionally dabble in WMA.

Prince currently
authorized in rattan in fall of 1996 and 6 months later packed up my armour for 18 months in a failed attempt to make someone happy.

I fight all weapon styles except two-weapon because that would make baby Jesus cry. Preference runs toward spear (6' or 9').

Cheers,

Strange that having a baby makes dad gain weight. I need to get back down to around 160 so I can start dancing around you biguns like I used to.

Cool, but no rush, I don't graduate until the Mayan calendar runs down.

If you've got time, there's an exhibition event sunday, Sept 27. I want to say it's 'Bard in Bellefonte' but the data I see doesn't match what I remember from meetings.
Anyway, fighter practice is going to happen there instead of on campus.

Order of the Ashleaf (OAL) - fighting award from the West


In order of preference, i fight slashing spear, bastard sword, pole arm, sword and shield. I am proficient in LE defensive tactics/control and custody and i have some WMA training. Currently learning Olympic fencing though still quite new at it.

Interesting post, i look forward to the data when its complied.

rattan - authed in all weapons forms, competent in most but prefer sword & shield and pole.

fencing - about once a year, single, rigid parry, dagger & schlaeger not so good with any of them but they can be fun to screw around with

only combat related award is Golden Alce - AOA level award for marshal prowess

Authorized last day you could in June before Pennsic 25 so 13 plus years, but real life, career and being landed Baron for three years took a lot of practice and tourney fighting time out of those years.
