Interview with Duke Brion of Tarragon

Tue, 19 Dec 2006 13:16:45 GMT

A 10 time Duke! 2 in the East and 8 in Atenveldt. He has lineage and
is long and consists of many other great fighters. He has influenced
and been a part of both sides of the coasts in the SCA and has some
unique experiences.

We talk a bit about how his first armour
was a full suit of Plate! Talk about taking the plunge! We talk a
fair bit of the recent Pennsic and what his goals were as King of the
East. We also briefly explore a new topic of discussion, such as
generational stylistic difference in fighting and some who fall into
different catagories. 1st. Gen - The originals who formed the basis of
our rules set, who I don't recall, but one would probably be Duke Paul,
who sort of falls into the 2nd Gen. Others in the 2nd Gen would be
Duke Brion, Duke Brannos, Duke Palymar, Duke Lucan and others. The 3rd
Gen, who we briefly discuss might be someone like Duke Edmund or Duke
Alighinan. Of course, the 4th Gen would be those making the scene
right now, such as Duke Felix, Count Michael and HRM Bardolph.

A
bit of history and yet another awesome discussion with one of the great
personages of the SCA! For more information about Duke Brion, check
out his household's website here.

Count Michael O'Bryan of Artemisia interview is up!

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 18:14:58 GMT

Well, this one is a bit late, as we recorded it on 8-31-2006 just after
Pennsic, but I finally finished editing it! At the time, Michael was
King of Artemisia as well! I hope you like it as we certainly did. It
was wonderful to meet Michael at Pennsic and cross swords with him, but
even more so to get an interview with him and talk about what it is
like being a Rock Star at Pennsic, aka Royalty! As it was his first
time there, it was also fun to get to hear his stories about that
part. Oh ya, he is only 29 years old and reigned as an Unbelted King!

We learn a bit about the kingdom of Artemisia, which is one of those out west big kingdoms.

So visit the web site (www.painbank.com) and leave your comments and questions.

Wayne State Bioengineering Department was at the scientific analysis part of the show!

I enjoyed this National Sciene Geographic (NSG) TV show from a sceintific perspective. Very much fun, although I would have liked less commercials and more analysis on various techniques and weapon forms.

Thu, 06 Jul 2006 15:44:57 GMT

With our Guest Lady Malla, we did an event report for the Rose Tourney,
which was held in the Incipient Shire of al Ja'far on 6-4-2006.

It was a blast and Lady Malla was great as she got to see many aspects of the tournament, that Kith and I did not.

We
also added new intro and exit music to the mix courtesy of the The
Brobdingnagian Bards (http://www.thebards.net) with the song at the end
their version of Greensleeves.

Nissan's War - Aethelmarc War Practice - aka Pennsic Lite

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 17:38:09 GMT

Well we did a quickie event report based on my attendance at this event, sometimes called Pennsic Lite. Check it out and let us know what you thought of the event.

fight practice

Wed, 14 Jun 2006 04:25:08 GMT

well I have 5 things to work on from practice tonight:

1. Tighten eveything down smaller.
2. Keep the stance close and don't let the feet spread apart.
3. Swinging at the leg instead of the head when retreating
4. Attacking sword side leg by twisting at the hips and pushing forward with the blow instead of lunging.
5. Thrust to the left side body followed up with an attack to the head. Angles change based on movement and the attack is tight, where the rotation of the hand doesn't bring the sword in a big arc, but a tight circle.
