Are the numbers the amount of warriors each has?

16:08 this is incorrect. equipment blocking a shot while it is no longer wielded would cause the shot to travel through and hit what it would have had the equipment not been there. Per the ROP, Combat notes section 1: 1. Shots that only strike garb, armor, or carried equipment do not count as a hit unless: a. Said items blocked a blow that would have struck a combatant (i.e. garb, equipment, sheathed weapons, etc. are not shields and do not count as armor) b. The shot is Engulfing. Engulfing effects do trigger on garb and equipment hits

Hey, shots to carried equipment only count if they would have contacted the body, so smackign their sword actually isn't a killing blow in Amtgard. You can find the info for that on page 7 of the RoP. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing. I faced burnout before from being on ZOOM a lot from being on almost every day for something whether related to work or other events. I finally had to cut off being on ZOOM for many things. And it took me from 2022 to present before I felt like increasing my appearances on ZOOM. I'm also facing burnout from the busy work schedule, gaming, etc. So I've slowed down gaming to a couple hours a day on Xbox or PC, but not playing on both PC and Console.

Thanks for the video! Something that is confusing my newer players at my park. At 16mins you described taking the arm then hit the sword. My newer players saw this as hit then tap the sword for an auto kill. In Amtgard since the arm is wounded the equipment is not being wielded, just carried, so the hit would not count unless it would have hit something had the sword not been there. Simply tapping the sword but not in a direction that would have hit is not a kill. I have had many discussions about this over the last week and so wanted to note that here. (For rules reference location it's under combat notes)

Good stuff truly some solid advice on burnout

For the double leg, it's important to discuss observing the micro in opponent tendencies when becoming legged, and the macro of where your equipment is, and what it is doing when the opponent becomes legged. (typically people will raise their shield when they are struck in the boardside leg, or they will "Shift/passing step/stance switch" as a response to being legged. or they may have a higher likelihood to counter attack as a response to being legged). Considering the "when" with the double leg, I typically format this attack in the "When I'm initiating, When I"m recieving/countering" Again the placement of your equipment and optimal pathing, and considering of their likely returns/intentions, on your way to the other leg is probably the most important.

The fighting *is* the fun. :D

12:55 W quote 👍

This really does apply to all boofer / LARP sports at the moment. Great topics and agree across the board.

Just starting out. Month in. These are good tips

Thanks for making a series. I’ll check back in after a year and share results. I’ve played for years, but only did serious fighter practices for about a year, and that’s been a minute. Time to actually master some fundamentals haha

Great vid guys!. The end bit especially. This is exactly the kind of thing my park needs.

Thank you for this, I always dread Single sword, I feel naked without a shield.

Overhead cross/Hip scoops pretty much describe my style of fighting in the early 90s.

Love the A range. B range is good and all, but my fav is A range.

Great stuff

that scooby do tunic is adorible

Amazing 🤩

Great fights! Shaun did a good job adapting to Magni's offensive.

Yall start way too close. It's hard to say much on most of these because it just kooks like you're having a western quickdraw/call of duty noscope fight. You will get more to review and deconstruct for both you and your opponent if you both take a half step back after tapping off.

tell this man Shaun to be more confident. he's got it in him to do better than 10-3 -isshin

These are great, thank you for sharing!

These videos are great, thank you. I don't know whether you are creating them to share with a specific set of people or to share with the world in general. If the latter, it might be worth including some key words like amtgard, larp and boffer in you channel description, video descriptions and even video titles to make them easier for people to discover.

The combo drill is a good one. 6 shots 1-1 1-2 1-3, etc...

Interesting ideas, I'd love to get together sometime. I'm not far away, only in the Quad Cities. PtQ

Is this going to be on the exam?

Thanks for sharing.

Very helpful bro thank you

This was AWESOME my guy!!!

How long did that spray foam last?

Ummm.. haha nice video. Nice shield.
