But as you get taller, you weigh more. This makes good sense.

O.k. since everyone else is adding more info:

28 years old (29 next month, getting closer to death :sad:

)
Fighting heavy for 8 years now, rapier for about 1.5, equestrian for about 3.

I have no rank bearing fighting awards, but I do have a Principality Combattant Ram (they didn't carry any rank before we made Kingdom) and a Baronal award called the Sword of Orion, and an AOA.

5'8 or so
110-120#
I'll be 32 in a few days
I think my laurel scroll said something about use and study of historical fighting techniques, and some other A&S stuff too.

Rattan: spear for wars, sword and buckler or single sword for other play.

Rapier: 45" darkwood rapier hilted as a two hander, or a 27" schlager done up as a katzbalger, both more or less used as such rather than a rapier.

Was also doing cut and thrust / sidesword under Master Gregory Finche back when it was an experimental thing in the east eight or so years ago. I really want to look into getting back into that.

Well if it's going in a database I may as well be complete...

I fight S/S, sometimes combat archery but not for many years.

I have a GoA A&S award, and my AoA was given partially for service in the Midrealm army.

Just to add data to the project,
I am 6', 210 lbs 48 years old and a KSCA who has been fighting for 29 years.
Rattan fighter
When I started fighting I was 6' 143 lbs. at 18.

Age seems to add some for a while. Waiting for the shrinking phase to begin.

Irishbull44 · Post by **Irishbull44** » Fri Sep 11, 2009 1:12 am

Interesting thread and I figured I would add to it especially if someone is going to tabulate the results and trend it out.

I am 40 yrs old.
6'3"
235ish (Should be around 225)
I have been fighting in the SCA for about 5-6 years total. I have only been back 1 1/2 years after a 8 year "time off".
I fight all forms of SCA Hvy rattan combat. I prefer mass weapons but I am becoming more and more fond of sword and shield.
I am currently Prince of the Summits so that would be my highest rank and will become a Viscount in Dec. when we step down.

Take care and be well,
Brogan

I prefer "generously waisted" good sir. I'm very generous, and I always heard generosity was a good trait to have.

Since the portly have more efficient metabolsms, add efficiency to your attributes. I heard that metabolic efficiency is an evolutionary advancement. So generous, efficient, and evolutionarily advanced. That will get you to the front of the smorgasbord line.

My statement should be revised:

So age vs. â€œbeing generously well muscledâ€
