The main thing that I want to tell you is that you don't have to 
succeed at any other martial art to succeed in ours. Now the fact is 
that many of my early teachers in SCA fighting WERE martial artists 
(Hi, Gunther), but I do believe that we have an art that can stand on 
its own against any of the other martial arts. I am the proof that you 
don't have to be a martial artist or even particularly coordinated to 
be successful in SCA combat. All it takes is years of hard work and 
practice. 
Unfortunately I missed the original post on this thread and I hope I 
haven't taken it on a tangent.
