Viking Age Steel Fighters
Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2004 4:13 pm
Greetings all
As many of you know at one time I helped found another North American based reenactment group that focused on the Dark Ages.
Long story short, I (and many others who were part of that) am no longer associated with it.
Having talked about it for some time now we think we now know that when we undertook that project, we bit off more than we could chew, we wanted to accomplish to much to quick.
With that in mind several of us have come together under one banner again to concentrate on what drew us together in the first place, steel fighting and the Viking Age.
As such we are looking for other folks of like minds to join us in our attempt to create not a national body but a network of individuals/groups with similar interests, those mainly being an interest in steel fighting (based on the 5's system used in the UK and Europe) and the Viking Age (well duh! what were you expecting?)
If you’re interested try any of the following
1) Contact me
2) Check out our website (which is still under construction) http://myvikings.org/vasf/
3) Join us on our yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Steel_Combat_786-1086
For now our focus is on combat, and while authenticity is important to us we do not look to legislate it, we leave that to your own groups.
We do not look to tell anyone or anyone's group what they can or can’t do; we simple offer our experience and what has worked for us in the areas of combat .
Simply put, your group is your group, we are just looking for folks to fight and have fun with!
