When I’m not writing, I’m swording. Today, I managed 2nd place in my club’s spring sabre tournament. Not too shabby for an old man.
FYI: I have a new sci-fi novel coming out soon.

'Stuart Willis talks to philosopher swordsperson Damon Young about how they have applied the lessons they’ve learnt from historical European martial arts (HEMA) to screenwriting. It might sound a bit niche if you don’t write about people hitting each other – or in my case, aliens – with swords, but I promise you that it’s a fascinating listen.'

Thanks to @suw for the shout-out. https://chocolateandvodka.com/2023/06/06/word-count-51-alex-north-webinar-on-thursday-insights-from-sword-fighting-planning-your-writing-year/

Some fencing I wanted to show. We had Ruggers, i.e. large Bauernwehrs, made for us by Ádám Bodorics. It was interesting fencing with the these, because unlike our "normal" Messers, these have no crossguard, just a Nagel, and they are also shorter.
It was fun seeing how it changed our fencing.

👀 Un exemple d'échange lors de ce week-end de combat au château de Fressin. Ici, nous avons un bâton contre une épée longue. Les combats sont amicaux, pas compétitifs, donc on s'amuse à varier les simulateurs 😀 ⚔️

Beim heutigen Training die neuen "The Hoof" ausprobiert, einfach nur gut, noch etwas Starr aber der Griff ist durch den gespaltenen Handschuh flexibler und auch fester.

Wollte mir eigentlich ganz andere holen, aber die Fechterin Brittany Saint Leafy https://www.youtube.com/@BrittanySaintLeafy hat wie ich eher kleine Hände, und hat in einem Video auf die Problematik bestimmter Handschuhe hingewiesen.

What Can History Teach Us About Fighting With Baseball Bats?

It's probably nothing to boast about, but at the weekend's #HEMA event (Fightcamp) there was an opportunity to do some bayonet #fencing. I was rather pleased with having fenced two bouts with a 3-0 victory each time.

I found enough time this weekend to finish editing my video from last month's ComnatCon cutting tournament finals. I already shared simpler footage of these events, but these videos include dual-camera perspective and slow-motion replay of the cuts.

Here's the advanced cutting tournament I competed in:

Nog even pleiten dat de jasmijnthee van #Hema de allerlekkerste jasmijnthee is ever.

Smelly Fencers hour.

Kam gestern hier an, heute Morgen etwas geübt.

Geschichtlich auch spannend, da das Manuskript dazu um 1300 datiert wird und damit auch beweist das Schwertkämpfe nicht nur stumpfes herumgefuchtelt war, also sich schon sehr viel früher entwickelt hatte.

Die Fotos aus dem Buch, sind jetzt besonders, aber nachvollziehbarer als die Historischen Zeichnungen.

Für Anfänger kann ich das Buch aber nicht empfehlen, da die Beschreibungen sehr knapp sind #hema

De corona-tijd was voor mij het einde van de Hema. Na jarenlang mn weg er niet kunnen vinden raakte het samen met 'het winkelcentrum' in de vergetelheid.

Zou het Saskia Egas Reparaz lukken om mij voor het 100-jarige bestaan de winkel in te krijgen? 😇
