    No they had a 'tourney' at the weekend and a 'toy drive' for the local children's hospital last year. What amazes me is that in the letigious society that is the USA that these guys happily go about their beatings in public - insurance be damned. Each to their own but this seems such a cock-eyed view of a martial art/LARP/fight club. Still they have in the rules to always take your trash home or use the bins provided so at least they're eco-friendly...

    No, never participated with any of them, but many years ago I used to co-run a forge that made custom Sword replicas for the RenFaire crowd, and sometimes we would set up shop at gatherings of these kinds of groups if we learned of their locations.

    All I am willing to say,... is that they take themselves very seriously.
    Too seriously if you ask me.
    renfaire....i knew it.....no wonder you wear those tights and lace up boots to kendo.

    No, i was dressed up as your mother, hoping to make some money off the drunken 'knights'. I guess she could be easily confused for klingon.

    I'll have you know that dear old Mom only goes for the Borg.

    At least, that's what it felt like growing up.
