I always wanted to make a video about flail myths, but never got the inspiration for it.

Well now I got it. Matt Easton made a video on flails and some of these myths came up.

The LARP flailheads are perfect. Expensive, but perfect. Our main go-to flails right now.

Last year my club hosted an Open Hall. I was asked to hold a workshop on Paulus Hector Mair's threshing flail.

I am presenting you this abridged version of it with english subtitles.

“Thank you for visiting”

I love the way everyone is happily gazing into the distance all “ooh look” while Jo Sickles Annie in the head.

We stood with our backs to the walls, as dusk crept in, we fought, but the mosquitoes won.
A quiet class but great attention to detail.
