The college of St Gildas the Wise is based on the Hobart campus of the University of Tasmania, we currently have about 25 members in college though unfortunately not many of these are active.

Many of our active members are interested in heavy combat. We also enjoy holding feasts and holding A&S collegia for our new members.

Weapons

2003-07-24T15:03:51Z

Dan:

The weapons that we use in the sca are made out of rattan, nothing can be done to the rattan that changes its flexibilty.

"Swords" are usually shaved done on the sides and out of the back blades with a plane or spoke shave, once taped they can be no less than an inch and a quater in diameter and may be fitted with a thrusting tip, which is required to have and inch of pregressive give and may not double over.

thusting tips are usually contructed from close cell foam with a leather collar around the area that the rattan and the thrusting tip are joined to prevent doubling over.

Axes are considered a mass weapon* and thus cannot weigh more that 4 pounds, the head can be constructed out of several materials, the most common being close cell foam (like a camp mat) and must have progressive give over the whole head.

Maces often have a foam head with rattan splints attached to the outside, this is then taped over and is usaually attached to a handle(haft)that is relatively short and is also considered a mass weapon*

Two handed weapons such as the glaive, halberd and great sword are all mass weapons* and have many different methods of construction

It is a good idea to shape the handle of your weapon so that you can tell if you are hitting with the "blade" or the "flat" of your weapon.

*Mass weapons are those that have a weight limit of 4 pounds and have the added target areas of the hips and shoulders as kill zones.

Melee

2003-07-24T14:50:09Z

Dan:

Melee is a type of combat, where there are usually several people to a side, each side has there own objective, usually to beat the opposing side.

In this form of combat a person may not kill from behind, however they may inform a person that they have been engaged from behind and that combatant should turn to meet that challenge. Melees generally do not allow the use of missile weapons, though there are some cases such as village football where this is allowed.

Melees can be fought either in the heavy or rapier lists

List field

Squire

2003-07-24T14:43:00Z

Dan:

This is a hard topic to discuss as squiredom can mean many things to many different people, in my view being a squire dose NOT mean that you are any beeter than any other member of the society. What i believe squiredom to be is a relationship where a knight believes that he has something to offer you, and is mutually benificial to both parties.

Squires can be recognised by a red belt that often has there knights device painted on the end. This shows that you have a fealty and a duty to your knight and return your knight to you.

Different knights choose squires for different reasons and expect different things from their squires, it is something that has to be discussed when the oppertunity arises.

As is said these are my personal beliefs and are by no means the one right belief, there are many different views with regards to squiredom and my views may totally go against another persons.

Authorisation

2003-07-24T14:32:36Z

Dan:

Authorisation is a means of testing a combatants level of safety, you don't have to be a good fighter to be Authorised you just need to be safe.

Authorisation involves a a practical and theoretical component, The Practical component is to asses a combatants safety level not only to themselves but to their opponent as well.

This may be different in different baronies but generally i believe that the practical part of the authorisations starts off with slow work, where combatants fight at about a quater of the speed, this is to asses techneque, then moves to either three quater or full speed.

you will have to go through several drills

-you on your knees while your opponent stands
-you standing while you oponent kneels
-attack and defense drills
-you attacking your opponent defending and only being able to throw three
shots
-your opponent attacking and you defending only able to throw three shots
-you opponent "monstering" you (Attacking very aggresively and in close) to sse how you react.
-Then several bout, during one or more of these the marshal may call "hold" to see that you know what to do (Drop to one knee with you sword above you head and call hold yourself).

In the theory section you will need to know such things as the rules of the list, basic armour and weapon standards.
