6 ft, c. 200 lbs. Gained about 10 because of back and shoulder problems. Will go back there though.
KSCA, never entered a crown and might never do so. It's a bit too expensive here.
Primary tourney weapon 2 sticks. Spear in the wars. Will use anything but big shields.

Rattan, although I have done some fencing as part of a champion requirement. My weapon of choice (assuming I'm given a choice) would be 9' spear.



Cause i was the annoying young kid hanging around you old guys playing table top games :P ... Least till i got some of you to come out and whack folks with sticks anyway :)
