Joshua Santana:
No I did not.  Not even.

Sir William:
I don't know that being a SCA fighter automatically precludes one from having any interest or knowledge about the sword art.

Sir Edward:


Well, sometimes we see arguments on forums that stem from an assumption that all SCA heavy fighters are just stick-jocks who know how to hit hard. But there are fighters who also have an interest in HEMA, or who have learned some good techniques through trial and error, etc. It's a pretty broad category of people.

So I would just say it's gratifying to see fighters who take it seriously and want to teach some martially-sound techniques they've learned.

Joshua Santana:
Sirs Edward and William make excellent points.  This is what i kept in mind when I made the original post.

SCA Combat does look fun, but I seen too many people reduce it to a contest of the harder whack on the head with little to no technique at all.  But Sir Gemini has presented it in a manner that made me say, "hhmm, he knows what he is talking about and backs it up pretty well."

this my explanation for the intention of my original post.

Sir William:
Thank you for the clarification, Sir Joshua.  It is easy to lump a set number into a single category for such purposes, but hardly satisfactory when dealing with facts that speak otherwise.
