Hail Giselle! Thy compliment is indeed kind, and I shall attempt to assist with what knowledge I know and experience I experienced, but I shall give you fair warning. . . I am far from a sword master.
Now that I have claimed my disclaimer (And you shan’t be able to sue me for missing limbs), let’s proceed!

I was considering sending in a SWAT teams to answer Alphas 911 call.
Imagine with me: A couple hummers, a chopper, and drones, cut the electricity, tear gas and flashbang the building, open up suppression fire with rubber buckshot as agents from the CIA, FBI, NSA, MI5, MI6, Lahav 433, Texas Rangers, Mounties, Mossad, ACME, Owsla, ZEPO, and FIG,…[Read more]

Grossly misrepresented, grossly feministic, and mentions awkward stuff (At least for a guy who’s now old enough to understands to read/hear)
That’s coming from a dude who listened to the series as a kid (When you have three sisters you get introduces to some interesting books.) and enjoyed them! Then years later I decided to go back through and…[Read more]

Once under a time, in a land close close to Spain there lived a small brown monkey. 🐒
This monkey lives in a cave at the tippy toppy of the middle most mountain of five, and he loved to do his opera warm ups at 4 a.m. in the morning. 🎶
For rather obvious reason (At least to us if not to the monkey) the little itty bitty teeny tiny micro moolah…[Read more]

Your utter regard for my antiphilbibliophilation and philbibliophobia is indeed. . . touching. . . Or at least, I’m definitely touched in the head! (But you likely already knew that. 😜)

People often ask me, “are you excited for camp?? The dance?! You can’t wait, right?” …And I realized, I don’t feel excited for anything. I never look forward to things. I know I will like it in the moment, but before? I feel nothing.

Friends, Romans, countrymen,
Would a kind soul enlighten me on how to change your forum signature? Mine is stuck as a cringy line of poetry I wrote when I was 15 and I need it gone ✌️🤡-
Go to profile, then push edit. After that erase your current forum signature in the forum signature box and type your new one. After that go to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes. Once it goes back to the top of the page, your new forum signature is in place!

AH thank you thank you, I did not see that when I was trying to edit XD

Your welcome. Glad to help! 🙂

WOOD/BAMBOO
Pros. These can be used for more realistic training and are definitely better in regard to weight and rigidity. Bamboo also doesn’t hurt too badly.
Con. You will likely need gloves and possibly a helmet or padded cap (Especially for wood). I personally don’t like them because they break. . .

Pros. The…[Read more]
When and if it comes to protective gear, I recommend that if you can’t dump a bit of money ($400-$600 for one person) into the real stuff, get motorcycle gloves, a helmet (I use a ProForce Thunder Padded Combat Head Guard with Face Cage), a throat guard (Gorget), and some form of “breastplate”.
Why wont it let me post the rest. . . ? 😒

Hello! Thank you for replying so soon!
Ah, thank you for the tips. Maybe I should have mentioned that we own quiet a few polypropylene and some wood and bamboo. My dad also has a collection of mettle swords ranging from cavalry and claymores to catanas and sabers. So, I’m kinda past those stages and was really looking for a mettle blade…[Read more]
It sound like you might be looking for what is called a side-sword, a.k.a Spada da lato (Italian) or cut-and-thrust rapier. They are fairly light blades (2-4 pounds), range around 3 ft, are single handed, and are used for cutting and thrusting. Basically it’s a mix between a rapier and a arming sword.
Haha! I just came to the conclusion today that what I was looking for must be a side-sword!
I’m considering this one.
Do you know anything about Kingston Arms?
Thanks for the help and the Hema website is awesome!!! I’d heard of Hema but never knew there was a whole thing set up…[Read more]
No, unfortunately I don’t. I would try and check as many reviews as you can.
Another thought (Way to blow money 🙄😆). A side sword would pair well with a targe, buckler, or dagger.
Yeah, but I’m not gonna blow money at the moment……..
Oh, a dagger.
*Stares off into distance with stary eyes*
Okay, stop it, I don’t have THAT kind of money. I’m gonna have to save up for this sword a little, and I just can’t do anything else yet……. Though i would love a dagger.
The reviews seemed good, but if you had some background…[Read more]
