Pic s of the sword fighting stuff I do.

Hey everyone.

Never did find pictures of the local tournament I was in, but I went down to a bigger one last weekend, which translates to pictures but none of me actually fighting.

You can view the pics here...

And in another note....I came across this picture in among the masses....

So the guy on the sidelines, camera left in the blue outfit and brown hat is me, and it's the only picture of me out of kit in any kind of focus. I know I still have some fat resevoirs left on my body...but I look REALLY skinny in that pic. Sorta disturbing but possibly how others are seeing me when they say I am too skinny.

Cool stuff. So any pics of you in your armour battling?

OG,

Awesome pictures! It sure looks like a lot of fun. Do you go to the big battle in Pennsylvania? I mentioned one time before but I woman I work with and her husband are members of the SCA. Her husband, Adam is up for an "award"(I'm going to screw this up) -- a Master of the Laurel. He's receiving it at the Kingdom Court in PA. They are both pretty pumped about it.

Small world. Adam is an armourer and one of much skill. Only know of him on-line, but I do know of him [img]smile.gif[/img] I have never been to "Pennsic" which is the Pennsylvania event.

And yes it is a Laurel he is getting.

Chera: The guy in the opening Pic is the new King. He is in short a star. Probably one of the best fighters the world has seen in our game, owing largely to the fact he is able to train like an athlete for the game, which most of us can't do.

Awesome pics, Og! It looks like a ton of fun!!

My son would love a festival like this. He really digs medieval stuff.

That does look like fun. How do you keep from slowly roasting in your own juices?

Ogedei · 07-25-2005, 10:21 AM

slowly? hahhahah more like flash fry.

Water, lots of water. Those tournaments are especially bad since you fight for like 20-30mins straight with your helmet on. Most tournaments you fight a fight and then sit around for an hour till the next round. Those aren't so bad.

You can tell it's July in Texas. My first thought on anything outdoors is how fast I would suffer a heat stroke.

The closest I've come to this was a Ren Fair Wedding for a good friend. I still have the sword. It was fun.

Well, you gotta worry 'bout that, since you don't have as far to go to melt away to nothing as many of the rest of us, you skinny bastard!
