Amtgard Basics-1 Hand to Hand (Mele) Combat

A shot at the basics of Hand to Hand (Mele) Combat in Amtgard. This film was produced as a continuing exploration of how to introduce and celebrate: Amtgard, how the game is played and the people who play it (and keep it fun).

Please watch the credits as the people who helped make this happen deserve as many Huzzahs or Hell Yeahs as you can give them.

In the works- all of the aspects of the game that modify these basics and expand the scope of the game. Including:

Valid Shots/Armor
Projectiles
Magic
Classes
Battlegames/Quests/Relics
Advanced Combat
Tournaments

Not to mention these:
The Many Arts and Sciences of Amtgard,
Weapon Construction and Armor Construction

Nice work guys - Sir Avery, formerly of Iron Gate

@averykess Thanks very much Sir Avery! Low End Video and Limited Software is a now thing of the past. More polished work to come!

i didnt think my communications teacher was serious when she said there was a group who did this in Lubbock... did some research... this was made by Lubbockites?

[OVMueller]

@Kuraiwolfy Yep!

[CaptainDecisions]

VERY nice video. Well put together, and does a very good job explaining in general the way combat is done.

This game won't work.

You know the ignorant hate comments really get on my nerves. If you don't like this stuff don't watch it, hell don't even comment on the video's.

Random late reply for you. You guys part of.. what was it... Iron Gate or w/e? I haven't seen the map in a while... was doing some looking into it a while back then kinda lost interest.

[DaffyYoshido]

@OVMueller No problem. Good work on video. Keep doing your thing.

Viva Amtgard !!

@DaffyYoshido Sorry for the late reply! I've been on the road mostly and away from everything until this past January. I truly appreciate your feedback. More to come!
