One duelist's tale: Time to get motivated
http://scaduelist.blogspot.com/2014/04/time-to-get-motivated.html
Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Time to get motivated. Still no excuses. I've gotten fat. Maybe not fat but certainly out of s shape. I have no endurance and my strength is not what it should be. I'm near my heaviest I've ever been at 198. I need to lose weight and get back in shape. My goal is to get back to 160 by Pennsic. That's 38 pounds in a little under 100 days.

One duelist's tale: August 2013
http://scaduelist.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 24, 2013. So the more I’ve come to think about it, I think including rapier duelists into the chivalry is a bad idea. I know many of you support the notion that all combat activities should be included into the chivalry and dislike the notion of a separate peerage for rapier. Here is why I think what I do:. Century fonts or 16. No, but they can hopefully base decisions about a person’s skill and knowledge on their research as well as interpretation. Just my random thoughts…. I had though...

One duelist's tale: May 2013
http://scaduelist.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 31, 2013. Practice Report - May 30. I showed up early because Antonio was not going to be there. Edmund had Gabriel for the night, so he swung by to open up the site, but Malcolm, Jane, and I were already there. Mabel showed up and we started by doing some stretching outside on the grass, which I led. We then moved back inside to fence. My last fight of the night was Scrooby. Fast, energetic, but he was either giving me the flat of his blade and had his dagger in very close. Black Birds and B...

One duelist's tale: Pennsic - Part 1
http://scaduelist.blogspot.com/2013/08/pennsic-part-1.html
Sunday, August 4, 2013. Pennsic - Part 1. This was a slightly odd Pennsic. Jennie was not able to join me so I was flying solo this war. We had a smal group of TOADs camped in our usual spot: Edmund, Emeline, Firebow, Mable, Junior (Christopher) and myself. Arriving at camp, I unpacked the yurt. Firebow arrived just a few minuted later. A couple of the DeLondres kids (can I call them kids since they are now over 20? Part 2 - rapier champs and the OGR meeting. (coming soon).

Donovan's Ramblings: Actual Sharp Swords
http://donovanshinnock.blogspot.com/2016/10/actual-sharp-swords.html
Monday, October 24, 2016. It was really, really cool. It was also terrifying. It is also an experience that I recommend to everyone who fences. It was enlightening in a number of ways. First, I want to stress that this was done in a. That said, this was done without any protective gear. The reasoning for this is that people have a tendency to assume that if they are wearing protective gear that they are completely safe. This would absolutely not be the case in this instance, and highlighting the ...To co...

Donovan's Ramblings: Back at St. Elegius and ahead to A&S Champions!
http://donovanshinnock.blogspot.com/2016/11/back-at-st-elegius-and-ahead-to.html
Monday, November 28, 2016. Back at St. Elegius and ahead to A&S Champions! Wow, I never wrote anything on St. Elegius! Let's take a few minutes and fix that now. Originally, I'd only intended in competing in the Art of Fencing side competition that our newest OGR (as of Court at the end of the event, and congratulations to him! In a from-scratch sense, and I think that food as an A&S entry is always a favorite - being able to directly sample the entry is wonderful on a number of levels. Frankly, I lo...

Monday, November 14, 2016. I arted a thing! While I need to put together a Real Blog Post about St. Elegius and some thoughts on martial A&S in the East (and how awesome it is!

Donovan's Ramblings: Post-Pennsic Post and Bonus Practice Report
http://donovanshinnock.blogspot.com/2016/08/post-pennsic-post-and-bonus-practice.html
Wednesday, August 24, 2016. Post-Pennsic Post and Bonus Practice Report. It's a little late, but here's a quick and messy What I Remember About Pennsic summary, followed by a Monday night practice report. As with all Pennsic summaries this year, I have to open by saying: So, how about that weather? Weather aside, there was some great fencing to be had. Champions was blessedly early in the week, a trend which I'm very fond of. We had some delays build up over the course of the day, but I actually ...I got...

Donovan's Ramblings: Manual Reprint Update!
http://donovanshinnock.blogspot.com/2016/12/manual-reprint-update.html
Tuesday, December 6, 2016. In lieu of a real entry (though I'm sorting through some thoughts about attacking in the correct tempo and how best to train that, because I noticed while fighting Kenric at practice last night that I was being pretty trash at it), I thought I'd point out that Greer's translation of Thibault seems to be getting a reprint and will be available come March 2017.
