Heilsa,
Joint War Practice will be held:
November 6th at Mary Heads Carter park in Carrollton.
2 PM until 6 PM or when everyone gets tried.
There will also be a "Buckler" tournament held this day -
best to my knowledge it will be held at the beginning of the practice.
Call it 2:30 PM.
This tournament is being sponsored by His Excellency,
Sir Baron Qadi 'Abd al-Mahdi Jamal ibn Hakim - Baron of Steppes.
By my count there should 6 bucklers available to fight with.
The 1st Sunday in October 2nd is Crown Tourney, thus it is felt that
there would be a low turn-out for such and this date has been move
back to November. There will be some people who will be at MHC
on October 2nd, so if anyone who is not going to Crown or wants to come
back from Crown, then come out to MHC - we will have a gathering
and with perhaps just enough personal armor to get one or two people
for fun.
Weather Comment this Day:
The overcast day with clouds of gray
drifting teasing to most,
while winds strong with promise
journey from those clouds
cooling one and all who ventured upon the ground.
Lo, it was but a tease for most,
while a select few received the promise.
The measure by hand and a quarter remain
for most as yet one more IOU
to be met another day.
All the while the heat remain within
records that have come and gone
such was the Day of Sunday
of friendship
of armor
and fighting friends.
The usual reminder:
Please bring at least 1 gallon or more of water and gatorade. I
recommend 2 gallons of fluids
and snacks to replenish your energy levels. Plus, various types of snacks -
- cold pickles
- oranges
- energy bars
- etc...
There are two water fountains in the park, plus
there are several stores close by that carry these items and more.
Everyone paced themselves, resting when their bodies spoke above
the desire to swing that sword, block with that shield. One and all had
supplied themselves with water and gatorade, then it was back out to
fight some more.
People in armor: 8
Children: 6
Total in attendance: 21
Weapons used this day:

Fighter Practice involves just that - practice and training.
To reach our goals, then both words come into focus.
Training involves separate levels -
Basic level to "good"
Man-At-Arms and/or Squire entry level
Centurion level
Tournament level
Practice is to reach the above levels, maintain those same levels,
then going beyond those levels to stretch one's boundaries.
