Deffner Photography got some AMAZING footage from my recent polearm match with @jarednelson.bsky.social that almost makes it look like I know what I'm doing with this stuff!

Happy St Paddy's, here's some Silver Spear between patients 🙂

New Sword Day! As a late birthday gift to me, my new Highland Arrow basket came in! Scottish Broadsword is one of my favorite disciplines, and this is a gorgeous one.

@willoaksmith.bsky.social did this amazing drawing for a Crossroads educational zine amount HEMA based off a recent match between myself and Alex Craddock of Black Flag HEMA. Thanks for sharing Will!

Subbed in yesterday's sabre class to work on the Franco-Japanese system, great fun time!!

My friend and training buddy Jared gave me this last night, and I'm ecstatic! Adolin is one of my favorite character arcs in Stormlight, and probably my current favorite character in fiction!

Hell of a day today at my first smallsword tournament! Managed to pull a bronze finish, which was a VERY pleasant surprise, and met some stellar fighters!

Also, really shows to go ya that everything really IS just worse rapier...

Stolen shamelessly

Definitely imperfect, but this is an ULTRA budget practice set with a hardware/craft store parts bag and windcap, a printed chanter, and set up with a cheap import reed and bellows. Made from less than $150 in parts (we won't talk about the time investment), honestly not a bad way to get started!

Rapier shenanigans!

Working on building a printable dirk hilt compatible with Castille dagger blades. Honestly, pretty happy with it!
