On Saturday I was lucky enough to be able to fight at an SCA event held by my local Shire.
I have been promised that more videos will be e-mailed to me soon, but here is a teaser.
This was filmed during a bear pit warm up session between fighting events.
and here are some photos.
During a warm up fight
This photo was taken during the Tourney on the second double kill between me and my opponent. He eventually got me on the 3rd round, but I put up a good fight!
I just noticed your hyperlink.15 secs looks good. You have a good defense. You are tight and closed. You opponent very open with the shield way out. Remember the Moulonee shot we talked about a while ago. His guard just screams out, "hit me with it", lol.
Actually I think any off-side will do the trick too given how wide he is. It looks like you got him with a combination of high off-side,which he blocked and then low on-side to his rib.
So to put it in a scholarly context, you drew him to the high right quadrant and then attacked in the low left quadrant for the kill.
That is a correct assessment Tsafa. If he had a larger shield I would have gone from his top right down to the bottom left (leg). Really with that shot I saw the body open and adjusted real time.

AndiTheBarvarian: Or the sticky "How to add pictures" thread in the Beginners Forum section.

RufusScorpius: Not so good. Had a big argument with my housemates. They said the place was haunted, I said I've lived there 183 years and never saw a ghost.

nerdthenord: Also, how you doing Scorp? Doing ok myself.

nerdthenord: It's pretty cool that water can be neutral, an acid, or a base without changing any of it's physical properties, but instead the theoretical definition of acidity used.

nerdthenord: I do love that when you talk about acids and based with a chemist though you have to specify what theory and definition of acids you are using. It's very easy to teach and understand the PH Scale, but it's not nearly as simple in real life

nerdthenord: True, it can't be completely dismissed in extreme conditions. I personally doubt it would be "Normal" matter, with protons, neutrons, and electrons though. Might be exotic matter like quark matter. Big disclaimer, I am not a theoretical Chemist either.

RufusScorpius: I wonder if there's another planet where their swords are made from Unseptbium and the hobbyists there are arguing about the properties of it's various alloys?

RufusScorpius: the existence of elements beyond the 7th period can't be dismissed. Like the theory of proton decay, we don't have the technology to devise an experiment to confirm or deny it. Esoteric elements MAY exist around neutron stars, magnetars, and etc.

AndiTheBarvarian: Nuclear physicists are the nuclear constituents' accessories to deliberate about themselves!
Sept 8, 2023 6:49:26 GMT
nerdthenord: There’s a reason I’m not a nuclear physicist lol
Sept 8, 2023 6:09:56 GMT
treeslicer: No, it's because proton charge repulsion overwhelms the strong nuclear force due to the increasing nuclear diameter. The nucleus is too fat rather than too heavy.

nerdthenord: I don't believe in the hypothetical 8th period of the periodic table myself, at least in regards to normal matter. Oganesson, Element 118, probably filled the table. Beyond that, it's just too heavy to be stable.
