not that this'll help much, but an example of things you'll learn and not be able to use is half swording. it brings a whole other range of posibilitys into play, one of my favorite being a dwonward thrust between a plackard and breastplate. but hey, ya cant use it in the sca. pitty really. anyways,...

Actually, if you ask me the whole purpose of armour is to keep your insides where they belong, inside.
knowing what it really felt like is just an added perk
