Hey, Bryn!

...so I noticed your LJ icon with the piping rabbit...

If you decide you need a badge, consider a rabbit playing pipes...

It's a period thing (even in heraldry, IIRC) and it's registerable. There's probably space to slide one in there.

...just being helpful... :)

My son, the fighter

So last night I went to the Storvik fighter practice.

No, I don't let people try to hit me with sticks. :)

My son (who is still a minor) went to his first fighter practice. They got him fitted out with suitable loaner gear to augment what he had.

William sparred with him to get a sense of where his skills were (or weren't). The conclusion: aside from an unpleasantly high proportion of leg shots ending up low, he could probably pass an authorization test right now. Ten years of youth fighter program really seem to have worked. He was throwing decent shots at a whole mess of targets with decent power.

Then he played in the melee part and did OK. He got some good shots in on people who left themselves wide open, including one case where an opponent let Dan hit him in both kidneys at the same time (and took the shot). He looks promising, and I see no reason why he won't be able to fight at Pennsic, if not sooner than than.

Baaa....
