THE ART OF DRAWING YOUR SWORD! side note. Very important to check if you can draw your sword in armor before you go into battle. I'm....stuck.

I'd love to say something catchy.but.. THIS SHOT IS FIREEEEAAAA. Totally lost it when because Yanapi took the exact shot that I had mind. It was so damn cold outside, fingers and toes were hella numb, but surprisingly, the armor kept my body really warm hahaha. Until I...fell onto the snow and took a nap.

Started to cut out most of the cuisse and lower tasset. Damn using Dewalt cut off wheel on a grinder make such quick work with these on this 18 guage stainless plate. Can't wait to do all the rest of the cutting sometimes this week so I can start assembling the piece together #historical #knight #armor #armorer #historicalarmor #16th #16thcentury #larp #hema #martialarts #sca #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CZX9zZCFTBX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Had an amazing time trying out Larp with @underworld_larp_toronto This is most likely the closest to a battlefield or a MMORPG in real life as we can get. Sure people say larp is toooo dorky, but hey,once you try it, you'll be hooked. Played as a Human Mercenary named Alexandria Dean. Got hired as a guard for noble gem merchant. All in all, finding an excuse to have as much as sparring sessions as possible before the boss shows up. Damn. The snow storm adds such a nice tough to these shots Photo: @bemmaphotography Event hosted by: @underworld_larp_toronto #larp #roleplaying #roleplay #dnd #larping #sca #armor #knight #medieval #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CXKv_c0K_lI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Half swording is still one of my absolute favorite technique. Although I'm not good at it, it is very rewarding when I get to pull it off...after getting stabbed 10 times...HAHAHA Photo: Yanapi, THE WANPANS #medievalhistory #medievalknights #medieval #hema #larp #sca #knight #halfswording #sword #longsword #helmet #glove #gauntlet #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CWufREuMAck/?utm_medium=tumblr

Stealth is my specialty. But seriously, I'm more of a bait with my flashy outfit. Put some of my kit together so Yanapi can get some sweet sweet shot. And oh God, this was so much fun.

WHAT A FASHION MONSTER LOVE IT. Installed the straps and buckles, just testing out the new plume set up. I might buy another set of these to make it super full, but for now, it works as a display or larp helmet. I can't believe how big of a weight difference a 18guage and a 16guage helmet can be! Can't wait for the rest of my softkit outdit to come together. #knight #medievalarmor #armor #medievalknights #knights #helmet #cape #feather #fashionmonster #burgonet #purple #yellow #medievalfashion #larp #hema #sca #wanpanscosplay #cosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CUTgP4ojgez/?utm_medium=tumblr

Very me. Bonk my friend.. instantly check to see if they are okay. I have a tendency to hit lightly because I'm afraid of hurting my training partner, but at times, I'm sure this habit of mine will bite me in the butt in real life. Video by one of our clubmate. Think the font was when he was trying to post for something else? It's good to spar in armor again! Died already about 20 bouts. #hema #armor #historical #historicalfashion #fight #combat #martialarts #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #European #harnisfechten #harness #armorcombat #hema #sca #larp #wanpanscosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CUBxPDOjt7q/?utm_medium=tumblr

16th century burgonet fix up! Got this Burgonet a long time ago and it was an reenactment use only, the bevor was sitting really poorly. Took pretty much the entire helmet apart and added 2 brass hinges to it. Worked a lot better now! Might wear it for show later after I further refine it. I must say, the vision is impressive on a burgonet even with the visor up. The eye slows are so close to my ocular, that there are almost no vision issue. #burgonet #16thcentury #knights #16th #visor #platearmor #armor #cap #hat #knightarmor #historical #reenactment #larp #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CTgHQoMhLGH/?utm_medium=tumblr
