Is HEMA the new Crossfit?
New York magazine has a write up on a school in NY.
“Here is a problem that can be solved with the body instead of the mind and heart,” Embers added. Though she called herself “a big dork” — pink dyed hair, a Metroid Prime tattoo — she also hoped the sword-fighting would help her feel less frustrated at work: “I think it will, if I get to hit something.”

SoCal Swordfight
I just got back from SoCal.
I took a ton of classes and got my ass handed to me in the open synthetic tournament.
I took classes on how to be a better teacher and how to choreograph fights. I also took a class on bartitsu, the Victorian gentlemen's self-defense system. I took a class on Fiore's pole-axe and taught a class on ringen.
I got a new Blackfencer synthetic trainer and some Cold Steel rondel dagger trainers.
Oh, and then there was teh banquet. I will leave yo with these videos of what happens at a HEMA banquet.
