Weak.

Who is the toughest geek?

@smokinthepot

That is a good question. However, probably not a question that can be readily answered. Some are faster. Some are taller/lankier. Some of us wear varying amounts of armor. Most of us have been doing this for a decade. We are more or less "equally tough" with good days and off days in the ring.

Gotta love youtube suggestions, I went from motorcycle back protectors to this hahaha

@IzzualYamakawa

Fascinating. I had no idea that motorcycle spine armor would lead to klingon spine armor. You should perhaps look at the Ceremonies video instead to see more klingon spine armor. Who knows, it might give you an idea.

[Anonymouzor]

why are you using Klingon weapons?

[CdrSalekSutai]

@Anonymouzor Answer: Thlingon maH!

[solitajre222]

Your "weapons" look like horns from a moose...

[CdrSalekSutai]

As mentioned above, these are plywood Batleths. Thlingon mah! We are klingon.

[MegaSuperLuigi]

WTF where you guys fighting with?

[jesuskopp]

I think this would be better if you just let them flow and then decide the winner by style and aggression like boxing.

You could do a combo of boxing and SCA style.

[aaalker]

wtf???

[maximumwangchung]

wtf are the swinging at each other? That looks like a tiny car bumber or something...

[CdrSalekSutai]

These are Batleths. Translated, "Sword of Honor". This a major klingon weapon. Rules, Scoring, "How TO' information is at the website of the IKV Melota.

[samipso]

Haha i knew i recognised the shape.

[SkjaldborgVikings]

WTF?!?! Full contact? Pulling shots? They are padded weapons.

How the hell do you make sense out of this ridiculous scoring system?

[CdrSalekSutai]

It helps to have been there, or to have read the "How To" page on the IKV Melota website. Yes, the weapons are padded. We got tired of breaking the plywood. We use plywood because metal is too expensive and hard to work with. The rules actually are fairly simple. Just hard to make out from the video.

batleth? :o
