Duello.tv goes live!

E-mail Print PDF

Academie Duello Centre for Swordplay in Vancouver, BC is launching a cool new HEMA/WMA video channel called Duello.TV (http://www.duello.tv)

Devon writes:

Our goal is to make our entire swordplay curriculum available online for practitioners and enthusiasts around the world. Our system of combat, grounded in the Italian Swordplay tradition, spans from the longsword through sword and shield to the late period rapier.

We have over 200 videos on the site currently and we’re expanding the content each week. Content is organized by levels and moves in a progression with our curriculum. The foundational weapon is the rapier, so there’s the most content there, but our longsword as well as sword and buckler videos are expanding rapidly.

 

Read more and discuss it in this forum thread.

Reduced Armor Experiment Approved

E-mail Print PDF

I am pleased to announce that the Society Rapier Marshal and Society Earl Marshal have approved our proposal for a Reduced Armor Experiment in An Tir and Atenveldt.  Over the next year, participating fighters will be able to fight without the puncture resistant armor required for normal SCA rapier combat.

 

You can find the text of the experiment proposal here: http://nwrapier.avacal.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=213:reduced-armour-experiment&catid=1:an-tir&Itemid=13

Discuss the experiment in this thread here: http://nwrapier.avacal.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=308

 

Participants:  The Acknowledgement of Risk form and Notice to Participants are now available for download as well.

At the Avacal rapier championship tournament of Feb 25 2012 in Myrgan Wood (Saskatoon, SK), Master William Bennet defeated Viscount Shamus van der Pontseele in the finals to become Avacal rapier champion for the next year.  It was a tournament full of excellent fights.

Here's the video of the finals.  I've got 30ish other videos still to upload.
