Weird, I definitely posted this earlier and then it disappeared.
Practicing speed in longsword a while ago, think I'm coming in at a bit of an angle here, I adjusted my form a bit and getting it much more consistently edge-on.
Topless because I'm a slut.

People joke about how men are always supposed to be thinking about the Roman Empire, but what I am proposing is that all men, at all times, are up for watching Master and Commander.

Round one of my #longsword final last weekend at the Claregalway Castle Shield. That dude really wanted to cuddle, kept grabbing me and ended up getting a yellow card for it.
Didn't do him much good though, still kicked his butt.
14 duels, 14 wins, 2 gold medals!

This handsome son of a bitch (me) will be fighting in a full contact medieval tournament this weekend in Claregalway Castle.
You should all come, I don't care where on the planet you are, come watch.
It's totally free so makes good financial sense!

Took a minute to take a couple of nice portraits of our fighters over the weekend, before we got too sweaty.

And a bit of sparring from yesterday, I usually fight at distance and want to do things differently, so was working on going toe to toe, lots of fun but tiring!

A very fun weekend of #buhurt training to get competition ready for the #Claregalway Shield at the end of the month.
The skipping in armour was just for funsies, but good to know I can.

Wanna see knights kick the shit out of each other?
80+ of them will be coming from around the world to fight it out in Claregalway Castle, Co. Galway on 27-28 September.
This will be full contact, competitive fighting with world class competitors, and the best bit; it's totally free!

A round from a fight over in Scotland a couple of weeks ago, up against Julian(in the black, maroon and white) from 1316 Medieval Fight Club, someone I'm always happy to lose to because he makes me work my absolute hardest and smartest, and I know he has to do the same

The Drill Abbot doesn't have a drill because he doesn't drill things, he conducts drills, like a drill sargent.
Also he's a tribute to an old Inquisitor model
