Iamys- This is simple- you simply stop throwing blows and defend yourself until your opponent lands a shot. Then you compliment him on a job well done, go sit down AND FORGET ABOUT IT. This strategy has never been known to fail. If you utter one word of complaint, you will have wrestled the A-hole B...

Hushgirl-
Knights were "a dime a dozen" in the era 1000-1200, but then things changed- at least in England. Kaeuper's book on chivalry and violence will explain that by the mid-14th century it was damn difficult to become a belted knight.

A smaller shield is called a "sports shield" in Caid? It should be more like "sporting". Is this term they use meant in a demeaning fashion? I don't get it.

It must have always depended upon the defensive conditions of the opponent. If your opponent is wearing a simple leather jerkin and a maille coif -while you were in full armour- you have more options. I think that two knights on foot, armed with longswords and encased in full armour- Bob and Chef de...

Whether or not the Tuchux see their mission as pointing out a "double standard" that exists within the SCA's definition/vision of Chivalry or somehow revealing hypocrisy among SCA members, the simple fact of the matter is that the renown and history of the Tuchux speaks for itself.

There seem to be more and more SCA fighters who (I suspect) are getting their inspiration not from deCharney, Lull and reading about medieval knights, but instead from watching WWF, UFC videos and from modern military attitudes.
