The Challenge[]

Mr Oli Barker. On the first eve of fightcamp, it would please me to seriously hand you youre ass. Weapons of choise would be sword and buckler. The rules of engagement:


  1. first to score 3 good hits.
  2. for up to three sets.
  3. Judging to be carried out in a sportsmanly fashion by ourselves or by us duly apointed referee.

The Acceptance[]

Handling of my arse is restricted to fair maidens, but I am certainly willing to kick yours to make up for any disappointment this rule may cause you.

I will meet you at the barriers on the Friday afternoon/evening - we can each bring a non-SOTS/GFHS judge to observe, who will both agree upon a third judge between themselves. Are you happy to use steel?

Oh, and to clarify, are we talking about three continuous sets, i.e. we don't call a halt for individual hits but carry on as in a timed bout? That would be my preference.

The Negotiation[]

hmm I would be happy to use steel if a blade can be found. Otherwise, I shall be bringing Nylons.

As for setts, I was thinking about continyous, untill there are three good hitts scored.

And first one to win two setts. Three setts at the most.. There can be no tie.

The Agreement[]

It will probably be best to compare what we have in the way of steel and nylons at the time. I haven't really used plastics before but if I can find something I like out of your kit or the Knight Shop prototypes I'm happy to give them a go.

The Main Event[]

This was fought at Fightcamp as promised, with Magnus winning (I believe it went 3-1 and 3-2, but I'm sure Magnus will correct me if I am wrong). It was an excellent fight and my first with nylons - we both came away with some honourable bruises and a healthy respect for each other.

Thanks to Magnus and the judges, Oz and Milo. Caz recorded the fight and I'm sure it will be posted presently. thumb|left|300px
