[Bordermarch] Combat inquiry.

[Brandon McDermott]

Just remember that they cannot be used in the manner of a Quarter Staff or Bo Staff. That is to say the longer weapons are axes, glaive, and spears. They Smash! They Cut! They Thrust! They do not sweep, bind, lock, or grab. I hope that helps some.

Greeting Luke Skyjacker,

Thanks for joining us at populace last night, it was a pleasure meeting and greeting you and your lovely Lady, and I hope we'll be seeing a lot more of ya'll around.

As far as combat with a staff goes, the answer is INDEED!

The staffs used for combat in the SCA are tipped for safety very much like the swords; they are just as deadly in the right hands. You and your friend must get over to armory and talk with Sir Simonn, he is most knowledgeable about all things pertaining to weapons, and has been nailed by just about all of them!
Bordermarch also has a Weapons' Master who goes by the name of Lord Zane. He is a bit out of pocket right now his new job and all, but when he does have a spare moment you can be sure he is creating a new fangled weapon for combat.

Do the Facebook thing with the Bordermarch Fighters group and you will learn more than you can imagine.

See you soon,
HE Santiago

My friend will be attending with me on occasion and he ask me a question
which I have no idea the answer or who to ask so I thought it best to ask
here.

Is there staff combat?  Or is it strictly swords and shields (I know there's
bows as well but you get the point...)?

- sent from my droid...rule the night.
