New Englandâs medieval fight club is no larping matter
Author: Meagan Mcginnes

Tucked away on the fourth floor of an inconspicuous converted brick mill in Nashua, New Hampshire, The Knights Hall has no turrets or drawbridge. There is no fanfare or feasting.
Inside, men and women use modern training techniques to prepare to suit up in not-always-shining armor for medieval-style combat. Once properly trained and attired, they will then fight each other with abandon. And with swords.
Presiding over it all is Jaye Brooks, a 50-year-old Rhode Island native who is one of the most highly decorated armored steel tournament fighters in the United States. A year removed from a full-time job at a technology company, he is training athletes aspiring to compete in the Armored Combat League or even earn a coveted spot on the USA Knights, the elite team that represents the country in international competitions. Heâs also giving lessons in how to properly wield a medieval mace to those simply looking for a unique fitness regiment.
âYou have to have a love for somebody and a certain amount of trust to make sure that they arenât going to actually kill you,â Brooks said. âThese are deadly weapons. You arenât allowed to stab because stabbing means death. It could actually kill you. So no one does it, and we train people not to do it.â
Before completely trading in a world of Excel spreadsheets for the one of Excalibur, Brooks was a senior project manager at a technology company in Nashua. The job was stable and earned him a comfortable salary, but left him feeling unfulfilled. In his off hours, he would strap on 50 pounds of armor to train himself and others in medieval-style combat.

A breakdown of medieval armor, since a lot of pieces are required to create a full suit.
Is this porn? I think this is porn.
This is indeed 100% unadulterated porn.
A reminder that âmaleâ armour usually works just as well with female bodies. If youâre trying to design something practical, useful and historical looking (or even just something the follows the laws of physics), never ever put in boob cups. Aside from the fact they give the armour a sort of âfocus pointâ for swords, falling down on them would send the shock right into the sternum. Regular plate armour leaves enough space between the chest for small to medium sized boobs anyway. But say the girl underneath is a buxom lass, you can still avoid that cleavage, boob cup shape while leaving enough space for her melons.
But aside from plate, things like the top picture, chainmail and all sorts of leather armour are unisex. I know you might be thinking that the feminine thing to do when designing a female warrior is to show off a bit of thigh or neck or cleavage or something, but really, understand that if the goal of that armour is to protect completely, putting an obvious gap in it is a terrible idea and sheâll surely get stabbed very quickly.
And donât feed me the âitâs magic, I donât got to explain shitâ line. Bollox. Magic armour and forcefields need to make some sense too. Show me something that LOOKS like itâs generating a barrier over the character instead of just saying âOh the G-string of Invulnerability is just as good as wearing full plate anywayâ. If thatâs the case, everyone would wear it. And why canât they just tie it around their belt? Make me believe that your magic armour and spells have logic to them. If not, please donât play your world straight. Iâm all for super stylised designs as long as theyâre sold as such, but if youâre trying to make a world that feels real enough for people to believe and get immersed in, think this stuff out. If youâve designed someone with sparse, gapped armour that shows skin, give your character a reason to wear it.
Iâve got some folks following my Tumblr who have a thing for women in (good) armor. Â Enjoy, guys and gals!
Even a fandom blog needs women in gorgeous, realistic armor.
Iâm a woman and I make chainmaille armour (even made some plate back in the day). The only time I made something different for a woman was when I put âextensionsâ into a maille shirt because she was pregnant and needed more room for her bump.

this is just freaking awesome how the temperature can affect the color, it happens then a thin layer of magnetite forms on the hot steel as oxygen diffuses into it. This amazing process happens because of oxygen. the stuff you breathe every moment of every day while youâre alive. amazing the things we take for granted.Â
