What the title says. Is it possible? If so, how so? I tried researching if 14th century helmets had chin straps and some of the results said they at least sometimes did, but I can't imagine hiw they could work with a bascinet's aventail.

Hi everyone! I have a new person practice with my local club in a couple weeks. I also have the creaks and pains of a 45 year old who has led an active life.

I currently do light yoga and have lift weights a few times a week.

Does anyone have any training tips, or tips for my brain to help me get ready?

Does anybody in here or know someone that have any experience with Oleh Antonov on facebook? More specifically his swords and bucklers, which is what im currently considering, due to his very competitive pricing. Im afraid of making such a big purchase without being somewhat sure that what im buying is good

Has anyone purchased armor or had experience with this company? The pricing doesn't look to bad for what you get for a full out of the box kit. https://lembergarmor.com/

Those who set up for renfaires and organize events at them; what is some advice you would give for a new group who would be doing their first renaissance faire?

Any recommendations for things outside of the basics for fighting?

This is a non tournament event and all advice is appreciated!

Hi there, I was wondering if some people here fight/fought with an English cross bascinet and would like to share their experiences. I really really really like the look of it and it seems to me the breathability is good as well but i decided to order a wolf rib because i know chainmail tends to be a pain in the ass with maintenance. However as i am attention deprived and would also like to aura farm with a cool helmet i am having second thoughts.

If you have/had one of these, could you please give me an indication about roughly how much extra maintenance time/costs would be involved in these types of helmets? Huge thanks in advance!

I'm 99% sure that the new "armorer" that's made something of a splash recently, TRW Armory, is nothing more than an elaborate Indian scam. Digging through their FB page seems like they just grabbed random ren faire pics and are passing them off as their "work."

That big announcement post of the $2k full kit? They've turned off comments for it.

I have a teammate that hears that siren call and I want to advise him NOT to order this "armor." But, if on the offhand chance that I'm wrong, lemme know.

does anyone here rock a brig lined with cordura instead of canvas? notice any differences?

while im working on building neck strength, im pretty concerned with neck injury after having been ripped good a couple of times

what i have
- huge shoulders
- titanium brig that covers the collarbone
- chain aventail

most of my team doesnt wear separate gorgets because they have plate aventails. i am planning to fight ren fairs, not competitively

what sort of gorget should i get that will mostly support the neck and not be insane overkill? i was almost considering using a lighter hardened leather gorget (from my SCA armor pile) simply because its main job is neck support

thoughts?

So, i recently was at local buhurt club training, where we were perfecting wrestling, and for the second part there was 5x5 battle for 5 rounds with soft swords and shields (genuiely don't know the actual name). Got some small injuries, but it was pretty fun! I told my dad about this, and he said that letting us battle for the first time is really unprofessional, and that i better do more classic sports, like boxing or karate. I get that he is not really into the vibes, but i really thinking about "unprofessional" part. What should i do?
