Armored Combat
The most well known thing to do in the SCA, Armored fighters enjoy making (and repairing) much of their own Armor. They fight with considerable skill and chivalry. The weapons are made from Rattan, a solid bamboo type material that simulates the weight of period weapons. Rattan also grows spongy rather than splintering, providing a safer alternative to steel or wood. Lord Iain is at left competing in one on one combat in this year's Outland's Prize Tourney at Estrella War!
At larger events in The Kingdom of Artemisia like Uprising and Whipping Winds fighters have the opportunity to fight in melee scenarios. We welcome you to attend fighter practice and try it out using our loaner gear. To fight at events you must have a paid membership and be Authorized. Membership info listed below!
