FFS I've being denied access to the iron tournament AND being explicitally said that I cant use my fencing jacket because I've put a colorful patch on it. I have to take it off. I don't really care for the tournament because I had an inkling they would not let me take part in it, but my plan for the patch was feingning ignorance about them not being permitted

Please tell me, fencers wolrdwide, are you allowed to personalize your equipment in your club or you have to stick to certain colors, models and brands?

I am talking of esthetical stuff, like painting the mesh of the mask, putting patches on the pants, embroider the back of your jacket, choosing some bright color or fancy pattern for your socks, so on and so fort.

Reblog for bigger sample size etc.

We have to wear all black, stick to a small hadfull of approved models and get scolded for anything out of place. The only free for all are the shoes.

I feel like the way we use “play” as a euphemism for training in a light-hearted way, particularly when bringing up the animal kingdom as an example, narrows the range of what actually exists under that umbrella. Play can be fun and light and no-stakes.

Play can also be rough and dangerous and violent (albeit within certain constraints) and when I watch my cats play it’s not uncommon for a bout of wrestling to end with one of them growling a warning at the other to knock off whatever they’re doing before things get more severe.

Play isn’t just about fun. Play is also how we learn and establish boundaries with eachother. Play sometimes involves growling and snarling and snapping. It’s how all sorts of living creatures figure out where their right to swing their fist or paw or claw ends and to what extent their shenanigans will be tolerated by their fellows and whatever social group they inhabit.

I’m not saying an ideal training space has to be this way (though there are some elements of it that I think should be). But when we talk about using “play” to learn, I think we could do with remembering that it’s a word that covers a much broader definition than just light hearted fun.

Tiger cubs swat at one another, but sometimes they also have to coil their muscles like fully loaded springs, and pounce.

Intricacy that we rarely e see in modern objects. Soul and craftsmanship in everything, detail for detail. Literally any surface was a canvas for the projection of the zeitgeist. I absolutely love that.

About yesterday's meet

I took part in the two handed sword and in the sword and buckler tournaments, and did bad in both of them.

They are structured so there are round-robins and then the two partecipant with most wins (breaking ties with points earned) go on to the direct elimination bracket. I stopped at the round-robins both times.

I can't quite put my finger on how I feel about it. I liked how I fenced in the two handed sword even if I took more losses than wins. I think I've done well enough. Against my first opponent, a guy on the smaller side that played it more on the technique and mindgames side, I almost pulled off a parry in hengen with thrust to the throat in indes. It slid by the neck. Play was so good people from the sidelines gasped, play was so good the referee adwarding the points said "congratulation on the action, but it didn't go thru, I'm sorry".

Then I had two opponents in the ring, the fencer and the frigging sun blasting in my face if I tried to position myself in the centre. The blinding effect of sunrays hitting the mask mesh, IYKYK. In retrospect, it messed me up a lot more than I gave it merit for.

So like, I was happy on how I fenced but I did not really win. It bums me out.

On the sword and buckler side, this was what I was working with:

I have not trained it for a long time

The weapon provided was a sidesword, with finger rings and a knuckleguard

Everyone else was used to sideswords and reinassance sword and buckler

The I.33 system I studied sorta of expect the opponent to fight you using the same style

I haven't even seen a buckler since last May

This meant:

My coordination with two weapons in hand was miserable

The longer blade and the complex hilt made I.33 fencing even more cumbersome

I was not familiar with the guards they went in and the stikes they threw out

I had nothing on them, while they were confidently doing their own thing

You can bet I forgot after years of only longsword sparring that the legs are targets and you have to defend them

But! Newbies where happy with our matches! They told me I had them run for their money. A more advanced fencer told me I was good, not playing into his ruse. I had no idea what he was talking about. I still had the damn sun in my eyes. The outside of my upper left leg is black and blue from at least three hit to the same place. As I said, I don't know how to feel about the whole ordeal, because I don't feel like I was competent but I got positive feedback from the people I fought against.

[josephbrassey]

Fun fact about these two pieces, they’re both weapons accurate to my period, the longsword being perfect for Liechtenauer work and the Bauernwehr being a standard tool that was carried by all German social classes.

BUT.

I also wear them together because they’re as close a historical approximation as I can get to the aesthetic of Aragorns longsword and elven knife from the Lord of the Rings movies.

And that is why HEMA people are nerds.
