Got some correction on my Sword and Buckler today and I have never been able to put to use something so quickly, and in turn never improved so noticeably so quickly

FFS I've being denied access to the iron tournament AND being explicitally said that I cant use my fencing jacket because I've put a colorful patch on it. I have to take it off. I don't really care for the tournament because I had an inkling they would not let me take part in it, but my plan for the patch was feingning ignorance about them not being permitted

Please tell me, fencers wolrdwide, are you allowed to personalize your equipment in your club or you have to stick to certain colors, models and brands?

I am talking of esthetical stuff, like painting the mesh of the mask, putting patches on the pants, embroider the back of your jacket, choosing some bright color or fancy pattern for your socks, so on and so fort.

Reblog for bigger sample size etc.

We have to wear all black, stick to a small hadfull of approved models and get scolded for anything out of place. The only free for all are the shoes.

Medieval sword and buckler is the best kind of fencing because it’s way more esoteric than any of the others and will have you seriously wondering wether an illustration the size of a post it note in a book completely unrelated to fencing drawn by a functional alcoholic is actually the key to finally understanding the secrets of how to walk

ADHD HEMA life is like: I'm teaching sword and buckler tomorrow. I put off figuring out my lesson until the last second. I also promised my girlfriend I'd help out with this holiday clothing drive tonight which she's been putting together for weeks. Anticipated Result: tonight, me, in a holiday sweater, standing in the corner of a room piled with thrifted clothes which strangers are actively shopping for, miming stabbing motions with an invisible sword and buckler to figure out which drills I'm teaching while "Santa Baby" plays in the background. I'll let you all know how this goes.

My HEMA club: *beginning a sword and buckler unit*

Legit a good point, as something of an adjunct sword and buckler instructor I can say: metal pot lids are what we use for new folks who haven't purchased their own bucklers yet and they work. fine. Idk how much I'd trust one against a sharp tho.

The tournament went well!!!

I have not won anything but I am quite happy of my fencing. The mixed weapons direct elimitation thing was crazy. Everyone was hyping up the spear because the reach advandage over a sword was going to be crazy. Then my turn, I was up against a spear with sword n buckler. The thing is, the other guy was trying to poke at me but just about touching me whenever I could not deflect it. It was literally out of depth??? so in my good old halpschilt to maximise my reach I just bind the spear, move it from the center line to my left, step over so that i go past the stabby bit, wring my buckler arm on the shaft for good measure and cut to the head. 3-0 match to me. If I have to explain it now I can discern the logic behind it in words but I moved on experience right then. If I was younger I would say I moved on instinct but I now feel like I have trained enough that the drills and the spars have overwritten my instinct. Keep on training everyone. I went almost to the semifinals but on the quarters the dice decided I had to fight with the thing I was dreading, two sideswords. Listen, I've not really trained sidesword ever. How could I cope with two of them one in each hand. I started to fuck up quite quickly and the two hander opponent was also quick to notice how sloppy I was with my blocks.
