I got one of my hoobae's into armor for the first time today, and he did AMAZING. He's also sporting the tunic aptly named Not Before Noon, which is now officially his so he has something to fight in.
He and the other new fighters lucked out having four Knights at the practice - ALL of them amazing teachers. Shire of Seareach has some pretty amazing folks, I have to brag.

Hi Friends~ We have a video! There are a couple more edited after this one, so I'll be able to update consistently for a little while. I've also finally figured out a good time to work on video editing that works with my schedule. https://youtu.be/sUAv8Cd5McI
Im going to my first sca event tonight! Its a fighter practice, cause that's the only thing near me.
The only problem is Im not really sure what would be appropriate to wear. The only vaguely pre 17th century thing I own is a ren faire peasant woman outfit. Would that make sense to wear or do people mostly wear armor? Should I wear something less historical and more practical? Will an event like this have loaner garb?
Oh, how fun!! Practices are usually done in mundane clothes, unless there's a specific reason not to be, so you can dress practical. It will be a good time for you to meet folks and get some questions answered, so I really hope you have a good time! Please tell me how you liked it.
Some days you're super excited for fighter practice, and some days you remember your armor bag is on the floor of your office at work because you left it there before you went on vacation so that you'd have space for luggage, two teenagers, a potty-training 3-year-old, your mother, and a cage of two parakeets because you didn't feel like hauling it up two flights of stairs at home before you left.
And then you forget that they changed the day of practice.
Getting the gang back together again.
Pell work for me tonight, armor next week. I have missed my chosen family.
I Need Your Brains
After work yesterday I found that I had an overwhelming need to hit things with a stick. We haven’t had a fighter practice since everything got shut down in March, and so I haven’t done any work with sword and shield in close to eight months.
I live in a second floor apartment, so I cannot set up a permanent pell anywhere. I am also high-risk due to my own body being the only thing that can kick my ass, so I am being extra cautious about being around other people. So I have been trying to think of some way to put together a mobile pell.
The things I am struggling with are:
1. It would have to be mobile as I would be storing it in the TINY shed off my balcony in my second floor apartment.
2. It would have to be stable enough when I hit it that I’m not having to pick it up every blow.
I don’t know how to address these, so I am really hoping that someone will have a brilliant suggestion or idea for me.
