As far as plate armor and encumbrance goes, the sources and even historical reenactment show that any sort of slow down due to weight was overcome by the intense amount of training they did. Fitness was key for these guys becasue their profession was, above all else, war. So, it’s as simple as “I ta...

Scholar Adept Justin Moorman resides in Sikeston Mo and is looking to get a group going. You can email him at ARMA.Sikeston@gmail.com. i think.

Mair has some club fighting that look a lot like a sheliegly though not expressly stated.

Also, where on your blade are you encountering his?

I did not understand the LVT guard and why people would choose it, however with the new 1.0 content applied to it, i find it to actually work fairly well.

Sounds good, I'll get you a count ASAP.

I feel like the troubling word is ART. It is fairly easy to identify the martial. Many cultures had soldiers with fighting ability, this is no doubt. They had systematized fighting styles that they passed on to the uninitiated. They were in all ways martial. These soldiers were not necessarily Marti...

Now that i know how to use a crossguard, i feel much more confidant for it. The tsuba seems so limited and cumbersome, I cannot move my fingers or hand around it. It's like a wall that says, "Do not move your hand past this guard"

I will probably keep plugging the idea, giving people more time to think about it, and maybe we can pull something off next spring. For now, lets look at getting to t...

Today during free play, i noticed that as a whole, our study group moves in a linear fashion. We will circle and strafe from zufecten, but once we reach krieg, both people will move along the same line. Can anyone suggest any drills that will help develop the habit of sidestepping and circling our o...

All right guys, you've had some time to think it over. Are there any study groups out there planning on coming out for this?

Hey Great! Look forward to our next practice!

Hello all, I've been working on getting a 1.0 going in Louisville Ky this year. I have a good number of new people that should attend the 1.0 but the nearest one is in WI. Quite a drive for us. Because of this we have decided that it would be a good time to possibly plan one a few months down the ro...
