Punch & Pie

Okay Taco, I heard this technique or fighting style mentioned on the Bel boards quite a bit. What is it?

Konradr

Also was reading their description of a "Flow" fighter and a "technical" fighter and I guess you would be a flow fighter, Taco.

Don't know what I am, an old fighter I guess.

Interesting obsearvations from the Bel board.

About taller, faster guys who move with speed and in all kinds of motions.

Some of the best fighters in my realm are skinny whipcord kids that are about six foot tall, and maybe 150-175 LB. They are also ungodly fast and flexible. They all have one thing in common. They use really light short swords, and really light punch shields. I have also seen a couple guys from visiting realms, same basic body type, using min red swords. Also ungodly fast, flexible, and very light on their feet.

Use longer but very rigid swords.
Put stab tips on eerything you own. Learn to use them.
Hit people with your shield. In thier shield and in their bodies. I use my shield edge like a battering ram. I hit people right in the center of the chest with it, or in their shield. That fac that I vastly outwiegh them shake the **** out of them. I also have fght with a 4' punch tower shield cut down into a punisher skull type shape that was only about 10" wide at the bottom. I coud stab people with the bottom edge of that like SCA dude use a Mandu. I knocked a couple people straight off their feet with that.
All in all, strenght VS speed IMHO comes out even if the people inolved are both equally skilled at using their abilities.
Play the hand your delt and love it.

Adaptability, accuracy, and consistency are much better attributes then tall, fast, and lanky.

Remember also that timing is just as important as speed. If you're not fast, then get some rhythm.

Long weapons are a curse when the person is chest to chest with you.

omg u found gavin to hurtsville! that is awesome i haven't seen this video in forever. truly one of the best fighters ive ever seen.

Punch and Pie is punch shield and red sword, really fun to use it you can. The point of using a punch shield, is that when you need to break something; you just throw your shield at it first. and attack with the red.

Any questions??
