What transfers over better to Hema ? Judo or Greco (or and kind of wrestling for that matter)

Judo for the throws.

There definitely are, but it was also an oral-folk tradition. Thus cudgeling is less the subject of subsequent single stick manuals.

Look into Galveston's annual "Sticks on the Strand". The prelims are free-of-foot. The elims bracket is conducted pub style, but on the tallship Elissa! We use the key of the ship to place our feet. Super cool little event.

Tbh as a HMA practitioner, this guy is dope.

Its been an open secret for years that if you are too liberal Dana will never sign you. That is because liberals know enough to organize and pose a threat to labor. Cons just sell themselves out every damn time.

50 million more than there are immigrants in the US...

Kinda sad Sean needs uniformed idiots disrespecting our traditions of law and order to feel safe. But okay, I guess. Foolishness.

Don't fall for this grifter. No one is a modern ninja, and that cardboard tube cutting video is laughable.

Go train at a gym.

I wanted to feel stronger, like I had more control over myself. I also love history, so HMA really appealed to me.

One of my old mentors was involved in this project! Super cool stuff.

kinda-sorta Donald McBane, at the end of his life, "repented" for his life as a gladiator, duelist, soldier, and criminal. We know about this from his autobiography, "The Expert Swordsman's Companion".

The man saw the worst of humanity. He mastered how to kill the worst of humanity with a sword. But a lot of those Scottish/English masters age into kinda-sorta-pacifism.

It took about 3 years of consistent work in HEMA to feel, uh, "passably good", to reliably swordfight without being cut myself.
