The kind of blows your throwing with mostly your arms and shoulders instead of using a coiled strike delivered from the major muscles in the trunk like the abs probably would not be effective in a real armored combat unless your a super heavy weight. And why is it that your martial refuses to list the reasons behind your sparring rules? I did SCA sparring for many years but concluded the rules were not modeled to achieve a specific goal and I did not like their ambiguity of intent.

I'd say you have good points, however SCA combat is what it is. I'm really not an authority on the rules and reasons for their choices to leave out certain obvious targets. Every game has to have some sort of restrictive ruling to make it challenging. I'd think you'd agree that SCA combat is definitely more of game than a defensive martial art. Also you should be able to find a link to the Fighters Handbook on the SCA org site. That may answer some of your questions better.

@noloferratus

It's a hobby. It's not preparation for an actual battle. It's what people call "fun".

so that answers that question, you're still in the Niceville area. I don't rightly know when I will.

@noloferratus To my understanding, most of the rules of SCA combat are designed for safety, rather than to promote a particular fighting "style" or competition format. As far as combat is mentioned in the stated goals of the SCA, it is "to present activities and events which re-create the environment of (pre-17th-Century Western Culture), such as, but not limited to, tournaments, jousts..."

The shield will never die. I promise. Other than that, good work I suppose.

@jrichca You need to buy your own, but I'm sure wherever your from has got loaner armor somewhere. You need to be 18 to fight in the adult lists, or 16 with parent permission. 13-16 fights with rattan by themselves. Under thirteen uses padded stuff from what I can recall. Sorry dude.

[jrichca]

how old are you i wanna do sca and im 12 but i dont know the age and if they give you armor or you need to buy your own (its expensive!)
