Yesterday, longsworders practiced a safer way of not getting stabbed: the breaking of the thrust. Then we learned that with enough skills and timing, you can get out of what looks like a dire situation and unexpectedly win the bout! Next week we’ll continue on this play. Come see who gets stabbed next!

Registering your medieval name and coat of arms with the College of Heralds is an important part of many people’s experience in the SCA, but for trans and gender diverse people, it can be a little daunting. The Principal Herald of Lochac (Australia) has written a guide for trans and non-binary people who wish to register names or heraldry.

For longsword this week, we drilled the basic exchange of thrusts until we are pretty sure we’ll be able to do it in our sleep! :D
