Dino and I got some kind of good and kind of bad news a couple a days ago. The good news is that the facility has gotten unusually busy for summer. Busier than we had planned for. The bad news is that we do not have the manpower to be able to competently run the facility if we are not there. The outcome - We are not able to go to The Gathering in August 2008. It is a very bittersweet situation. We will begin training today for next years first Gathering of the Pack! Also, we will make sure that we have sufficient staff to run the facility properly so that this does not happen again!

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.


I would be more than happy to fight you. I wouldn't mind doing double stick but I am leaning more towards single stick. . . .if that is a possibility for you, I would be glad to jump in. Also, I wouldn't mind doing a knife fight, I think that would be lots of fun.
