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 ;)

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.
