So after many years of thinking I decided to join the SCA and get into Heavy Weapons, or Armored Combat. It's always been appealing to me but I was afraid to try it. More that I couldn't take a hit and would whimp out. Now I haven't really gotten hit yet but some and it's not too bad. But anyhow I went right after practice started up again after the holiday. I just watched the first night, although one guy had me hit him to see if I liked it. I knew right then I was hooked.

If you were ever thinking about getting into something that is physical and helps release tension, try this. Course you do need to like Medieval times to get into the SCA since it's done around that time period. I will post some of my training and what it's like to get deeper into this.

But if you want to check it out go to WWW.sca.org and read up on it.
