My First Highland Broadsword Bouts

[Chirs]

Looks like fun, if somewhat painful.

Yeah, it can leave some good welts and bruises. But as long as you have a helmet, a hand guard, and a cup, you're okay.

I challenged my cousin to a sword fight this weekend. I whipped his butt- not because he's not a good martial artist, but because he leaves himself open. He would lean forward, exposing his right shoulder. I see the guy in the white shirt doing the same thing. But it looks like you guys are doing a lot of good things!! You're obviously working really hard. Keep up the good work. And you should get onto YouTube and search for "Bryan Hunt Nut Shot." The two guys in that vid are people that I fight wit. It's hilarious, and shows the need for a good cup- or sporran. My sporran has preserved my manhood on more than a few occasions.

We have Chris Thompson of the Cateran Society to thank for our progress. He's been an excellent mentor to us, despite the many hundreds of miles distance.
A cup is very important, we learned to wear them the hard way. Since I don't practice in my kilt, a sporran would look pretty silly.
