Did the Knights Errant event today...

(1/2) > >>

Thorsteinn:
... and it was an awesome time! I absolutely cannot wait till next time whether it be here in Reno or somewhere else.

If you ever get the chance to take a class day/ practice from Sir Gemini & Sir Mari then I highly advise you to do so. Today made my desire to get down to DeGrendelous Martial Arts stronger.

Today was my second time in armour in a year and it was the second time in this kit (pics to follow later) and while I don't have the fighting pants yet I was quite happy with it all. All I need now is a light coif to keep the sweat from my eyes & a round shield & I will be set... for now. (always it is the desire to enhance ones kit yes?)

As to my fighting, I was happy with some, unhappy with some, and ecstatic with some of the shots I threw. One kid from DeGrendelous out there with a bastard sword got me in the arm pit with a move hat was absolutely beautiful to watch come in. I remembered to tell him how proud he should be of that shot. It was just so damn pretty. :D

Got to fight Viscount Lochlan and had a great time doing that. He is just so quick! At least I got a few kills on him. :)

Got to see some of my friend that I had missed quite a bit.

I know I'm forgetting a lot, but trust me that there was more.

Today was a Great Day! Fighting is soo much cheaper than therapy.

BTW- Here is the Knigts Errant from their FB page:
"Our Mission is to travel to the far edges of the West Kingdom to instruct in the Chivalric and Martial Arts and to inspire ourselves and others to continue to learn and expand our knowledge and prowess."

Sir Rodney:
I'm glad you had a great time.  There's really nothing quite like swinging a stick or blunt.  :)

Our first event of the year is this coming weekend in (go figure in MN) a hockey arena as the weather is still too unpredictable (snowed on Friday/Saturday).

Only in the SCA/WMA communities will you hear a quote like this! :D

Sir James A:
Sounds like a great time. Looking forward to pics of the kit.

 ;D  ;D  ;D

BTW Sir Marc de Arundel gave that kid his first bastard sword, and some training too. it explained how he managed to hit my arm pit while hiding behind my shield.

Sir William:
That sounds like an awesome time, Rauttskegg...they travel all over?  Do they have a listing of dates/times?
