IMO such clubs are just as valid as any other martial art club or group as all have three universal attributes that one must learn to be successful in any martial art which is Balance, Tempo and Measure.  ;)

Miyagi agrees with balance.
Most band leaders agree with tempo.
However, there seems to be some confusion about measure. After all ... with regard to measure ..."Some men are longer than others". :)

lmao  ;D that's awesome, I need to remember that next time I get into a techniques discussion with some of my ren buddies that can't seem to understand how I can skewer them "without lunging."  I keep telling them about the circle, it doesn't add up.  Maybe this will work!

And Sir Brian,

very well said good Sir.  I have friends that have taken lightsaber combat to an extreme level and argue it's the one place where a rapier can fight a katana all while trying to avoid a bo.

My name is Nik, aka Fearghas MacDimm, Brother Sergeant of the Order of the Hospital of St. John. I've been involved in a historical/fantasy combat group called Dagorhir for about 7 years, and have decided in the last year that MacDimm should take up a holy crusade to repent for his former wickedness. I am currently a page of the Silver Order within Dagorhir, and am on my path toward knighthood. As I have researched arms, armour, and orders of the time, I have spent a lot of time returning to your forum with all of it's helpful members. It seems only right that I should join this forum to not only learn, but also to give back and share my knowledge. In addition to my involvement as a warrior, I also run a custom leather goods/armour shop called White Bear Armoury, and have a lot of experience as a leather worker that I would be happy to share. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

so where are you at again? i take it east coast. a lot of times the mid-eastern guys hang out at the Maryland renaissance festival.  i have always "been around" Dagorhir, but never gone to an event or meeting.  I used to frequent the old forums in college and started to again recently to help folks "better" their interpretations of armour and garb :)

Sir Wolf, I'm based out of Mittelmarch, which is the Indianapolis chapter. Before that I ran the Evansville chapter, Fangorn Forest, which I believe no longer exists.

smells like you're bragging a bit there Thorsteinn.

Q: Know what you call a mid-level Western fighter in any other Kingdom?

A: Your Majesty.

Fearghas have you ever been to, or are you going to, Pennsic War?

I have not attended Pennsic. I would like to at some point, but Ragnarok, which is the Dagorhir equivalent, is held at the same campground as Pennsic every year and lasts a week, is around the same time. It's a 9 hour drive for me and getting off work for either is pretty difficult. Convincing the wife and new baby to come along even more so :/ . Maybe one day....

Well met!  My grand Knight lives in Crawfordsville, and I know a lot of SCA people in the Indy area.  If you would like, I can pm your contact info to them.
