Pas d'Armes. Greatsword Station.
« on: 2012-05-30, 18:55:33 »
At the Pas d'Armes Saturday I was holding the matched greatswords station that all contestants had to pass to continue. It was to 3 counted blows with a reset in between each.

Here are some pics taken by Carol King, Angus Manners, and Jennifer Mervine. (greatswords were donated by Prince Richard de Camville of Cynagua):

I did a double take while looking at photos 3 and 4.  Your opponent's leg harness looks EXACTLY like my old pair!  :o  :)

You can see his harnesses through his pants?  Ivan is the blue pants guy.  :)
