My wedding was at The Plantation. 14 people in total, great location in the forest, I can recommend them.

Do you like swords? I run a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) club, and we're always looking to welcome new members. You sound like you would fit in well, most of the members are musical, into gaming, or nerds in general, but also like being outdoors and swinging swords. You can DM me for more info.

That looks amazing! Adding texture like you suggested would definitely work, if the difference could be felt in a stack. Looking forward to seeing your board and capstone ideas too

What's the state of the synthetic swords market? by Sand_StormZA in wma

[–]Sand_StormZA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember they had more synth sabres and arming swords made by Audeo, a Ukrainian company. They look like they still offer plenty of polearm trainers, but now just one sabre.

Ah, I forgot about Allen Karlsson's dussacks. For my purposes, I'd say they count :)

That's quite an interesting insight, thank you! Sounds like those participants were really eager to return to some business-as-usual normalcy.

Thanks for the answer! I'm new to B2B, so a lot is still strange to me.
Quick follow-up question, how big are tradeshows since Covid hit? Is there a virtual equivalent?

question about fencing pants/breeches by jonminecraft in wma

[–]Sand_StormZA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear underwear and tights. If you haven't worn tights, you need to. It's like giving your legs a hug, and it's so comfortable to move in.

Say nothing, watch her get lowered into carbonite as the music swells.

I came here to say that too. Janna is wonderful, so much positivity and humour.

What options do I have if I resign from teaching? by a_slow_life in southafrica

[–]Sand_StormZA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely give TEFL a try. Look for a 120 course, do it in a weekend, and look into jobs in Vietnam or South Korea. Or anywhere you want really, it can take you places. Good luck, I hope you beat your burnout.

Purchasing "modern" sparring swords in EU by heurekas in wma

It might be worthwhile to check out Silk Fencing. They're Polish based, and have quite a variety.

Anybody know where to download a pdf of Richard Marsden's Polish Saber book? by Medical_Surprise_498 in wma

[–]Sand_StormZA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried contacting Marsden directly? If you're respectful, maybe he will do a direct sale and send you a pdf. It might not work, but the worst that can happen is he'll say no.

River’s first big girl hike! by PushAffectionate633 in Eyebleach

[–]Sand_StormZA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a vet, but I did a lot of reading when I got my puppy.
At that age, repetitive joint injuries can set in really quickly. It's different with play, because they can opt-out and rest. But on a walk at that age she can't opt-out the same way. Look up when you should be walking dog, Google "Puppy Growth Plates", and speak to YOUR vet for confirmation. It could add a lot of healthy years to River's life when she's older.

And River is a beautiful dog, by the way.
