First spar of the year! Mask and helmet just in case. Did some harnisfecthen duel with @chababolog . My shoulders and back are on fire...but damn, we look like a pair of cute dorks. @highlandhema suggested that we go for the traditional dueling rules. 15 clean hit with a poleaxe 25 clean hit with a sword I got a grand total of 15 hits and I'm DED. My shoulders gave out. also, first blood of the year... The S18 armet serves its purpose really well, just that my coif came loose so a rivet scratched my chin...damn. #harnisfechten #armor #hema #historical #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #martialarts #knight #knightlyweapon #weapon #poleaxe #bonk #whack #purpleheartarmory #bascinet #churburg #castle #training #workout #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaSn81jmQ7/?igshid=1ie6jd9qjg3s9

When a sword is properly hung on your side, it shouldn't interfere with you in anyway..aside from being stopped by the police. Hahaha just kidding,please don't wear your sword outside.. This weekend, my armor will be getting another upgrade, can't wait for it! Its always good to have a group of friends that we can swap parts with! Like YuGiOh..but..YuGiOhARMORRRR THANK YOU AGAIN TO @highlandhema for helping me take these shots !!!! #hema #harnisfechten #armorcosplay #armorcombat #armor #kightarmor #historialeuropeanmartialarts #historical #14thcentury #bascinet #knight #knightlyweapon #sword #pollaxe #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CHPGiNkDynz/?igshid=rcaga0uu29i1

Hammering is like...99%BONK with accuracy Ahhh weekend to hammer away the fix up my poor gauntlet. @highlandhema got these for me and THEY ARE TANKY AND COMFY. Super amazing mobility and defence!!!! But because I use them for literally everything, maintained is prone to happen :/ #hema #harnisfechten #historialeuropeanmartialarts #15thcentury #14thcentury #gauntlet #hourglass #hourglassgauntlet #steel #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdLlOTjN0g/?igshid=o2t2u83d5e02

Planning on adding a few pieces to my rerebrace. Right...after I sew the chain maille on hahaha. If this goes well, I will start planning for some compression articulated lames. Seriously, I wish that putting on my harness can be done in a matter of seconds like the heros in the anime :/ #harnisfechten #knightlyweapon #knightarmor #armor #hema #historialeuropeanmartialarts #historical #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CGMDM8ZDSYg/?igshid=1lotz9vk5cdt0
