Finally, after 18 bloody years

The first time I ever saw SCA Heavy combat was back when I was 12 years old. A few fighters from Adelaide came up to do demos at all the country shows

Closest to you would be the shire of Bosenburg in Bunbury http://www.sca.org.au/bosenberg/redirect.htm our own group website is http://www.dragonsbay.org/

W00t!

And wow, what a great setting to belabor the bejeezus out of each other!

I apologize in advance for any offense, because I have only had experience with a single solitary group, but if they are even the *slightest* indication of any other groups out there, SCA heavy fighting is absolute shit. As in garbage. Every time I watch it I can't help but think of how much of a joke it seems. If they suddenly were transported into actual medieval times and had to fight, they certainly wouldn't last very long.

I know it's supposed to be for fun, which is why I keep to myself. But for fuck sake, at least have the decency to even *attempt* to be remotely accurate. =(

In many cases, it depends on what you define as accurate. If you want steel-blade combat, then find a group that does that. If you want full-force, full-contact then perhaps SCA heavy is more your thing.

Mebbe one day I can get to festival and we can meet up that way
