[Steppes] Steppes Fighter Practice - 4-08-2006

[Mike]

Heilsa,

Cloudless sky of Blue
Gazing upon green with blue
Flowers of State
Temperatures high 70's
Light and cooling wind
A perfect day to have been outside
Enjoying Sun, Wind, and flowers
While striking within armor upon friends

Fighter Practice involves just that - practice and training.
To reach our goals, then both words come into focus.

Training involves separate levels of heavy fighting -
Basic level to "good"
Man-At-Arms and/or Squire entry level
Centurion level
Tournament level
Combat Archery

  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...
- Bring Chairs for you to sit upon.
- Perhaps a grill to heat drinks and/or snack food
- Dress for the weather and bring extra for additional layers as well.
- Sunscreen
- Hats
- Sun pavilions can be set up
