( by Sir Angus O'Niall in the SCA)

“Brutal, primal and cruel was the fighting style of the medieval knightâ€

Bump

Bump. It's getting close and we have over half the spots filled.

Flyers will be up at Birka and I will be there. You can even sign up and pay me there.

Most of the day I will be in the fighting area. I have a celtic style helm, white mohawk crest, white oval shield and red chucks Feel free to say hi!

last bump

This was a lot of fun, a very good refresh on fiore's wrestling plays and dagger. Wish we had more time for longsword, but frankly by the time we got to it my head was full. I am sore from playing the part of crash test dummy but glad I had the opportunity to take the class.

Angus has a unique perspective on the use of historical techniques and has a definate talent for conveying that information in an easily digestable format. I highly recommend anyone intereseted in a taste of serious study take this seminar, it will get you hooked on finding the nearest salle and getting to work.

I'll second Angus as a great teacher, love his classes. Wish I could have made this one as it is just south of me, but I've been down with the plague the past few days.
