Re: OT: The WarriorMonks

I've had an interest in aikido, kendo, and tai chi, but classes are expensive and I'm cheap. ;-) I play hockey, which is a form of martial art... I also fight SCA, which is a very loosely organized hodge podge of Western and Eastern swordfighting (spearfighting, polearmfighting) techniques. Check my home node for a picture...

Ahhh, SCA, I was in that a few years ago. I joined in Dragonsspine, did some fighting in Atenveldt in the early 80's (bastard sword and medium shield). I was known as Hrodthgar se Aedthel. I also did some heraldry and marshalling. Well met gentle sir.	[reply]

Somehow I always knew I was part of the Middle Kingdom ;). This is really interesting stuff, I've been looking for a place to learn Western Martial Arts. Having only started to learn the Spanish Fencing Method from my grandfather, who died before I could finish, and have been learning as much as I possibly can from the ARMA. Thanks for the info. wolfger, I'm definitely going to have to check them out. Update: Changed Eastern to Western...never try to post while looking for a new gi ;).

You mean Western martial arts? ;-) Glad to have helped. Too bad the friends I had in Decatur, IL moved, or I would put you in touch with them... And thanks for the ARMA link... -- Linux, sci-fi, and Nat Torkington, all at Penguicon 3.0 perl -e 'print(map(chr,(0x4a,0x41,0x50,0x48,0xa)))'	[reply] [d/l]
