Dog Brothers Public Forum

I'd like to make a special effort to come out to this, i currently have a broken nose which has had me on my ass for a while and will have me mostly on my ass for another month then hopefully i can resume hard training.

Anyways, about me, i'm a 143 pound female, my weapons training is primarily through ARMA and I do a lot of work with the longsword as well as the roundel dagger.  If i do manage to make it out, and I really think I will, I would love to get partnered up with someone. I have done hard contact sparring with rattan sticks (no gear, not even helmets) before so I'm not afraid of getting hit by any means

I would prefer to use a dog brothers style staff modified to be more like a longsword (closer in weight to my weapon of choice) but for safety reasons I'd happily use a shinai bamboo sword modified to have a crossguard and pommel aswell.

Just to make sure all my experience is out there i've also had 9 kickboxing matches, won 8 of them, and three MMA fights with a record of 1-2.

If I make a special effort to attend , will someone fight me? I am open to anything that will allow me to play with reasonable simulators of my weapons of choice and would probably play with some new stuff aswell. I am always eager to experiment.

I saw that two chicks were already planning on coming. Got room for one more?

PS: what safety gear should I bring? I know a three weapons fencing mask seems pretty standard but wanted to know if anything else was recommended

PPS: I know the exact location is still TBA but what city is this held in? I want to start making travel arrangements and i just filled out my fighter form.
