I thought I'd revisit a photo I took in the summer of 2006. It was a hot day at Pennsic War, and annual event in Western PA. Two heavy knights are sparring using as authentic of armour kits as can be made these days. Their weapons are made from rattan and thick, heavy rubber like you'd find on the bumper of cars. It's full contact martial arts, so this hilt to the face hit had to have rung the guy on the left's bell.
