Many local historical fencing groups do train women as swordmen for reneisance shows. So girls can learn swordplay and then build a battle choreography based on the style they have learned. My own group has qualified trainers in spanish school and my father whos also a trainer used to be one of the best. When you fought him raw (no practiced choreo) you could never outperform him and he always knew how to put you down super quick. My dad did both historical and sport fencing to stay sharp and agile ;) Thank you very much, Sir Knight! That's very enlightening. Your armor looks so much better than Medieval Times dinner and tournament in Buena Park, California. I bet you're equally as good as your dad or better. Have a nice day!

I tried to google S.C.A and it led me to some global Hygiene company so I don't like where this is going. DX We are SHŠ Briganti or HFG Briganti in english. Residing and performing in the Northern area of Czech Republic but sometimes we get invited to Germany, Poland and other countries. We are hired by cities to perform on events or fairs or big battles that need more than just one fencing group so we often get to beat the hell out of our competing groups. :D I know of some groups which do this completely as a full fledged company that has this employee- employer relationship. But we work more like a foundation and everything we earn goes to the group funds to help maintain armor, gas for transports and new stuff. We have a name for our type of busines but I don't know how to translate it in english. I just mention it to avoid confusion with "fan groups" which are usualy bunch of peeps whit makeshift gear. We are bsns and thats why we can beat the hell out of each other with real steel. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCA is a medieval costume group? Got it. Last halloween I was a pirate. Or atleast I think its a pirate? Redcoat, telescope, and a pirate hat, must definitely be a pirate. http://i.imgur.com/LIMmJ1u.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deshiel Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 To be honest. I don't know if we have something like your SCA. Might be somewhere in EU but never heard of anything like that in Czech Republic. Each country keeps to its own mostly due to pretty much every bordering country having its own language here ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBluePanda Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Apparently I am now a Feather Head, according to my housemates...not that I'm complaining—a good friend has art of this adorable species they call Feather Heads so I feel cute and proud that someone (unintentionally) called me one of them!

Proxykon Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Okay, now don't freak out, this one is pretty sinister and edited by a professional photographer friend of mine.
