Sweet! I'll have to do a session on Fiore's one-handed and stick stuff some time, because it adapts well to weapons like this.

Yeah the mace looked really cool...

Another good session and good sparring in the end...

Interesting people showing up...

Looks like SG8 is going really good...

Maybe its the music and the juice...

Remember, Food service stops at 20:30...

A good turnout again and the SG8 regulars are coming on nicely. I may also have got slightly tipsy afterwards and had some nice chats with people.

There are lots of spares. I've been depending on the kindness of others until now, but will be bringing my own kit tonight - so that's at least one shinai more in Nigel's cardboard box of fun.
