  • i've been told that the smaller your shield the more farther you hold it away from you.

  • @Kevinsufacation generally true but definitely not a hard and fast rule. there are lots of situations where you'd want a small shield in close but in general yes. nothing is ever simple is it.

  • did you take a stop sign and make it a shield? xD

  • @Aserox Yes, but I would like to point out that it was acquired in a legal fashion and not harvested from a wild armor tree . . . I mean I did not steal it from the road, that would dangerous, illegal, irresponsible, and ummmm bad. but yes it is a stop sign. I have always wanted to make a shield out of a yield sign, because a yield shield would be awesome on so many levels, but I refuse to steel a sign for it and I don't have legal access to a yield sign. such a bummer.

  • Why aren't you "Teaching" SCA techniques with an SCA sword?

  • @stickjok well I don't think of this as teaching so much as show-and-tell. you see I also hang out on line with a bunch of sword people and I had been asked about how SCA strikes look and if they are viable for cutting with a live sword. I'm not really trying to teach anybody how to fight in the SCA there are better sources for that than me. so I used steel instead of rattan because this was meant to show how SCA strikes might be applied to live steel for cutting practice. good question, thanks.

  • So are you in ARMA? Do you ever work with ARMA?

  • Good video, have you checked out the Bellatrix fight school?

  • Nice stop sign

  • Think of the shield as the door to your heart. If you stick it out there like that, I will rip it off its hinges, and stick you. Not optimal.

  • @Ianflaer lol that was a quick reply :P I just thought it was funny, I prefer a wooden shield with my hereldary ;)
