I mean honestly man, if someone wasn’t gracious in defeat and victory. Then they’d become intolerable and would be run out of the club.

Which one were you? Imagine doing this stuff in a real battle back in the day.

They said at the end it was his first deed in harness; he will get better at holding on to his dagger as he practices lol

It is REALLY cool! Great visibility and breathing! -Reece

I really like seeing lames on the fauld. Is the overlaping of the same type than the one on knyght errant video on his skirt of plates?

@@m.s.79 Its upward lapping which grants better mobility...Ian's skirt of plates is downward lapping which doesn't have as much mobility but sheds of downward blows better :)

We'll look at adding names in the future. We'd love to get interviews with each fighter discussing their kit, but time doesn't always allow for that. Especially if we're teaching and giving multiple lectures. -Reece

@@pursuingtheknightlyarts6841 I'm just thinking now that what you need is a Herald or just some announcement from the ref, X in A corner, Y in B corner. That kind announcement is fast simple and everyone enjoys being recognized, the points are easily called to sir/lady X . That would add to the feel but not take too long.

We'd love to see you attend! 🙂-Reece

We were getting back to training with the intent on doing more interpretations, but then we got hit with the Covid-19 scare and are looking at going into lockdown soon. We've got a lot of interpretations and were even discussing about creating a video series covering the basics. Will look into it once this situation improves-Reece

Excellent! We'd love to see you on the field someday! -Reece

I have no idea. But wouldn’t they do it? They seem to like showing weapon grabs? Even though grabbing an opponents rondel dagger while in full armor might be seriously challenging in most circumstances

It is in fiore's flower of battle, he even goes so far to say "if i need a dagger i shall use my foe's" speaking from experience, the usual right side belt stow is extremely convenient for snatch and stabs

Same ruleset for the equipment required per the Dovikin Concord. We just had to make sure not to hit the disco ball above lol! -Reece

Well, it's not about breaking the maile at all. For instance, a popular target we see them strike at is the armpit. You can place your point in the area, but the maille will only allow to go a quarter of an inch (assuming you have 6mm rings), so in order to pierce the auxiliary artery you need to apply structure behind the strike. By compressing the soft tissue it'll allow you to puncture that artery. We plan to make a series of videos showing this in the near future. -Reece

@@pursuingtheknightlyarts6841 Thanks for the response! I'd be very interested to see that video series. If it's possible I would love to see tests on a piece of riveted maile backed by doublet material and some type of analogous tissue(pork/gelatin). I have appreciated HEMA for as long as I've been aware of it but I've also been skeptical of the efficacy of many techniques in the treatises, particularly those designed for use against armored opponents. If a piece of gambeson material can stop a bodkin from a mary rose replica warbow, how can a combatant hope to defeat maile and a doublet with a halfsword thrust?
