Just an FYI if anyone is interested, the class schedule for Western Martial Arts 2001 is settled and some of the classes are filling up. The rules for the fencing and the armored combat tournaments are also up.

I wish I had a suit of armor and a few years training!

[Christopher J Umbs]

Not me!!! I saw the carnage from last years armored combat in Toronto… links of chain mail lying all over the floor after being sliced away from the armor by cuts, Anton Cvet grabbing his opponent by a horn on his helm and forcing him to the ground, one guy’s plate armor falling apart after the leather straps were severed by a cut… I’ll do a lot of real crazy stupid things, but I won’t do it with another 65lbs of armor on my back. Be sticking to the rapier/smallsword tournament, thanks!

Actually, one of my classmates is training for the armored combat and I wish him luck.

Yikes! Sounds like a battlefield! Good luck in the rapier/smallsword tournament. If I didn't have another vacation planned, it would be fun just to drive up and watch.
