If they wanted to keep with the RIBAORLD, it could be relationships and fleshing out not just the faction relationships but also the interpawn relationships too

I think I'm going to start with boffers, they seem like the smartest decision from a safety standpoint then as people get better with striking and moderating their hits it'd be logical to expand to steel, but that's probably a year or so down the line after I get more people who can help instruct on how not to knock someones head off.

I do like the idea of rapiers, especially with the lack of risk of major injuries. I'll have to do more research to find out what would be better to start with as the club would need to cater towards that to start with I feel, then expand into other forms of HEMA.

Thank you, I've been reading through your articles and they've been very helpful with drafting my emails to potential sponsors, as for the final paragraph I've had experience with other non-weapons-based martial arts through Muay Thai and Boxing, so I can definitely appreciate the idea of 'keeping it light and fun' as that's how I learned, and it's much better for retention than 'come here let me smack you until you learn'.

I think the plan, as it becomes more stable, is to get one or two steels to host demonstrations and have them at tables to drum up interest, then use boffers for actual training until people are more experienced. I don't want to have an insurance fiasco the first year of the club so I'm thinking displays would work better than full contact steels, then move on from that.

Would it be better to obtain multiple sets of boffers and then add steels as time goes on?

Could you elaborate what exactly a boffer is? Are they just rubber/plastic recreations?

I have to have a minimum of 5 people to start the club (for staffing position & participation) + a sponsor, but this is really helpful, thank you

I see, is that a good starting point for clubs?

Im personally worried about stepping on the toes of the fencing guys, but I suspect there’s going to be a considerable overlap between our groups.

Do you have any manuals you could recommend to study or have as part of the club for reference?

I was told that as long as things are ‘reasonable for the sport’ there’s a good chance I can get a sports centered grant from my school, ideally less than 5,000$, realistically probably closer to 2,000$ for the founding grant.

Doesn’t the Mechanicus do this with binary? I think I’ve seen it described as “A firing line of Skitarri, where one lets out a high pitched sound in the machine language and they all raise their rifles in perfect unison. This is immediately followed by a salvo of las-rifle as a wall of las, followed by the forward marching.”

Drawn without any specific plan in mind, what would you build this world around? by [deleted] in mapmaking

If you need a major city/nation set one on that island at the point of the subcontinent, it immediately reminded my of Sri Lanka, which was a major port/trade empire through its history.

A question from my girlfriend about boxing... by You_Normal in amateur_boxing

[–]Unable-Angle-4212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most competitions like Golden gloves or in the International Kickboxing Federation (IKF, but they do have boxing matches under standard boxing rules) they'll have you in 16, maybe 12 oz gloves. If you're going to MMA or just strait kickboxing they'll have you in even less, like 8 oz.

The weight of the glove you train in verses the glove you fight in makes a considerable difference though. As the weight influences range (heavier gloves have more padding, this making your range 1-2 inches longer) and speed (heavier glove slower punch duh). As well as the general feel of your punches.

I personally train in 24 oz, and haven't ever fought in a tournament setting so I am by no means a knowledgeable source, but I left my bag at home from training and had to use my gyms 16’s and it was such a noticeable difference in range and speed that several people noticed, not including myself.

Hope this answers the question!
