That’s me and my war mace. Not really an edged weapon, but my friends I have a lot of fights with it. (… and a lot of fun!)

thank you zamboanga, for saving my dignity. i had a feeling it was for those "beings" when i saw the word maligno. you see, i've been telling my wife (she's puti) and my kids tales i've heard growing up and that include the kapre that smoke cigar under the mango tree and those dreaded aswangs - mananangal in particular. to see you write those same words on the forum, much less with a weapon that's made to fight them; i can't thank you enuff . you are the MAN!!!

Well, if ,again, there's no need to preserve one's own dignity , among friends, here's a couple of shots from a demonstration we did of 17th century Spanish swordsmanship. We were asked to please wear more or less period-ish attire, so, we tried to oblige as some Tercio's soldiers...
To me, swordsmanship is a field of knowledge I add to my study of antique weaponry. It is fun to an almost obscene level, also... The weapons are modern reproductions to be used as trainers, I hope they comply... |
