<DIV>Your Grace,</DIV>
<DIV>I thank you for your offer but please understand that before you can do
that you will need to sit in an authorization class taught by myself or one of
my regionals. I realize that you and your husband have not been active in the
youth combat community and may not be aware of all the requirements. Please
feel free to contact me off list. Thank you for your support and eagerness to
help. </DIV>

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>OKay, I
thought about this, and since I believe that what a Peer is about is
<BR>brining aid to those needed and serving the Crown and Kingdom I will make
<BR>you all an offer.<BR><BR>First the pre-amble.<BR><BR>You may or may not be
aware, that Earl Sir Duncan owned, operated and taught <BR>in the largest
martial arts studios in Southern Arizona prior to our moving <BR>here.
His martial arts training spans most of his life. In fact,he was my
<BR>teacher which is how we got to know each other.<BR><BR>He taught 5 or more
forms in addition to boxing and women's self defense. <BR>He is UFC
certified (if you are in the MA community you know that is a very <BR>big
deal) and also taught classes for children.<BR><BR>Now here is the
offer. This is not an official marshallate offer, although <BR>he is
one. This is a Knight to fighers offer.<BR><BR>If your teenager wishes
to fight in the SCA, you are welcome to contact us <BR>directly and Duncan has
agreed to help train them, and walk them to His <BR>Grace Patrick Michael for
authorization when he feels they are field worthy.<BR><BR>Here is the
catch.<BR><BR>We expect those taking us up on the offer to be willing to help
make his/her <BR>armour, purchse the necessary items to make the stuff needed
( we have a <BR>shop and can do alot of it here) and be here at practices to
encourage the <BR>fighter.<BR><BR>To begin training you do not have to be in
armour, we have some equipment <BR>here, and I would recommend talking to
Duncan before you buy or make stuff <BR>no matter what the case.<BR><BR>You as
a parent if you are not coming to fight too are welcome to sit in my <BR>house
with the other ladies and sew or watch cartoons or whatever. But we
<BR>request the parent stay here during this training.<BR><BR>Duncan's email
addy is earlduncan@gmail.com, contact him to make <BR>arrangements for your
child directly.<BR><BR>What I will do for my part.<BR><BR>Since I am not adept
at pounding rivets or bending metal, I will be happy to <BR>help you and your
child make whatever clothing necessary for him/her to <BR>participate on the
list field.<BR><BR>Practices are Thursday Nights. They are a working
technique practice, not a <BR>war story conference. Please bring your
own water bottles and a chair if <BR>you have a portable one.<BR><BR>Tonight
is cancelled due to my schedule but next week will continue as <BR>scheduled,
contact Duncan in advance if you are coming.<BR><BR>I hope those of you with
teens will take advantage of all that is being <BR>offered.<BR><BR>This also
gives other in our Barony to get to know us as people, and be <BR>subjected to
Duncan's humor. Which is truly only for the brave at heart.<BR><BR>In
service to the dream,<BR><BR>Larissa<BR><BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
