Texas Assault 2012 Open Singlestick Tournament -- Galveston, Texas
February 18th 9:30am-4pm
http://texas-assault.weebly.com
The first open singlestick tournament in the Gulf Coast Area.
Sword and Stick enthusiasts can come together to compete in a friendly
tournament format. We are inviting Sport Fencers, Escrima/Kali Stick Fighters,
Western Martial Arts, Asian Martial Arts, SCA fighters/fencers, and Stage
Combatants.
The tournament will follow English country singlestick rules from the late 17th
century.
Weapons will be provided - 3/4" x 41" rattan with leather baskethilt.
The head is the only target. Offhand can check the opponents basket or sword
arm. Obvious blocking with the offhand will count as a hit. There will be an
afterblow rule - this means that within a fencing time, if the counterattack
lands, it will count as a double hit. This will encourage fencers to defend
themselves immediate after an attack. No grappling, no thrusting.
Equipment will be provided to anyone who needs it (see website for protective
equipment requirements). Based on current numbers fencers are guaranteed at
least 6 bouts.
