Tina joined the SCA in 2015 after a friend introduced her to heavy fighting and she created the persona, Bryn. It was love at first sight with the sport and Tina gave 110% of everything. Attending practices, events and wars, she became squire to Duke Brennan and had big dreams. Sadly an injury and than a move discontinued her fighting journey. Now healed and back in the East Kingdom, Tina is ready to try again!

SCA 101 - Heavy Fighting Armor Walk-through
มุมมอง 10Kปีที่แล้ว
SCA heavy fighting with my new armor kit! I decided with my return to heavy fighting that I wanted to redo my armor. Although my older kit was perfectly serviceable, it did make breathing extra difficult and tended to pinch my curves. While the theme is norse inspired, the overall idea was just thrown together by what I've seen other fighters wear and what is comfortable to me. This is an ongoi...

I found shorts for dudes with built in cup holders. worked great for female cups too!
All Hail the Queen of An Tir!!!
Thank you for putting out this video. I was watching your Southern Region War Practice video and then this one came up. I saw some familiar faces (well, armors) in your video!) First, your video seems to have inspired my own lady to look more seriously at fighting. So, thank you for that! Secondly, on your straps, I hope you realized in the year since this video posted that you could just move your straps closer to the buckle. Regardless, GREAT VIDEO! I'm back in the East/Atlantia area. I started playing in the East in 1993. I've traveled the world, played in several other kingdoms, and am happy to be back in the area. Are you in the East? I'm in the far northeastern corner of the Barony of Bright Hills in the Kingdom of Atlantia. I'm closer to a lot of East Kingdom stuff than I am Atlantia so maybe, if you are in the area, we'll get to cross swords at some point! Again, thanks for the video. I'm thinking that I might make up a video of the Dos and Don'ts of SCA armoring from my perspective. I've got tons of gear that I bought thinking to turn into armor that has not worked for me. I've got a lot of interesting things I use that are modern that I think are the best things I've ever found.
i tried velcro early on and once i sweatted up my helmet a couple of times the adhesive wouldnt hold.
Thank you for posting and all the advice
Hello nice i'm in reconstruction in Poland but we do not use something like that ;)
What's up from the Eastern Kingdom (PA).
I am a rapier fighter in the Middle Kingdom and I agree 100 percent with your statement how just the act of armoring up is enough to get the anxiety flowing. And I love your comments about where you are more likely to take hits as a new fighter. Fantastic. Well done.
How do you feel about the stainless steel from a protection standpoint?
Freedom of choice is important, and it's your body... but why does a clearly intelligent, attractive young woman feel the need to get 36DDD implants? As a middle aged heterosexual man, I am genuinely interested whether you think breast size determines your femininity, attractiveness or worth as a person? I value personality, integrity and intelligence in people far more than boob size. To me, fake is fake... it's a lie. These days so many women think such "enhancements" are going to improve their lives, but it's rarely the case in the long term. It's only skin deep. But if you're genuinely happier because of the implants, I guess that's the most important thing. 😉 🙂
Looking at armour and human remains from Visby, as well as battle damage I saw on armours in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, legs WILL get hit, especially as combatants tire. This is something I remember from when I also fought heavy back around A.S. XXIX. Visby actually shows a LOT of injuries to the backs of lower legs. Whether this is because the fronts of legs were more heavily armoured, or whether swinging weapons low is easier when you’re exhausted, idk. I suspect a mix of factors. In my own experience, though lower leg was forbidden, I did get hit there in tourneys, and more often so in wars.
Much respect from an out of kingdom knight.. rock on warrior!
❤ I love this armor!!! I'm getting into heavy fighting!! And the details!! Thabk you for sharing
I started with carpet armor and a beat up pot helmet back in 1989ish. Ten minutes is about as fast as I can armor up. Love the bag. 👍
Most kingdoms don't require shoulders. As a tall guy, I tend to skip shoulders, but I am A fan of the shoulder and gorget arrangement you are using.
Sir Osric House Ironwolf i loved the armor and will be using this for my Lady thanks for doing this for every one...
Very nice, please don't add any armor between your elbow cops and your spaulders. Over time you will be able to block that. Adding armor will not help. I am not a fan of the double gorget. Your top gorget can be attached to your shoulder cops as one piece. All in all I like your newbie armor but those are the tweaks I would recomend. I like every bit of your below the belt armor by the by. Also, I would love to know who made the armor for your legs. Color me jealous. :D
Hello, I started in the SCA in 1984, we made our armor out of 16 GA cold rolled steel, my first breastplate was made out of conveyor belt with steel plates attached. I still have my complete set to this day.
The best way to protect your head is not to do it at all. This sport causes people to have brain tumors.
How have those construction knees worked for you?
Hey!!!! Your pennsic twitch stream from years back was legendary and it was sad seeing you stop streaming/uploading SCA content... so glad you are back!!!! :)
As someone just starting out on the heavy of SCA this was a huge inspiration and informative video, thank you so very much
Awesome setup!
Did you make those leg pieces? Thinking about getting into fighting but gathering/making the armor is a daunting task
Look into besegews for procecting the gap between your chest guard and shoulder armor
u ROCK !
I was happy to see you at Pennsic this year. I am glad you are back.
Do you have a link for the knees? I need hidden knees for the Viking Deed at Gulf Wars.
Very interesting build. I'm impressed with the way it all looks overall. The cuisses look great, shame they get covered up! I have the same response for almost long enough but not quite straps, they make me get really red faced and have to keep my mouth buttoned tightly (otherwise OMG). I'd like to see what gauntlets you chose and the helm of course. Cool stuff!
Nice set of armor. Much better than when I started in 1984. :)
Very nice looking kit! My squire brother makes those lamellar scales. Thanks for sharing his link. When I put on my vambraces I like to buckle them first on a very loose hole then slide them on and then finally tighten them. It's much easier than doing it all with one hand. Very good video!
I found the SCA at an anime con. I’m really into the timeframe it takes place and am interested in HEMA and Buhurt as well. I found an SCA group close by me in Florida and so, I am going to be joining soon. Glad to have found your videos! Love to see other women doing this too!
I feel ya on always have a kit you can put on easily without assistance. Seriously.
you must be very popular
Ok. So after all these years, I bought a Helmet specifically for the SCA. Looks like I should make an SCA kit and stop using my steel fighting armor 😆. Cool video
A West kingdom heavy here, my only concern is section IV, H of Marshal's handbook, for sides points of the knee, otherwise 👍 kit, nice use of plastics.
I think I've seen you before on twitch a while back? If I remember right the name was shadowfox. Glad to see your back with the sca and I hope to learn more from your videos. I'm working on getting armor for myself so any tips would be great and thank you.
I recommend viscoelastic polymers combined with foam neoprene rubber for helm padding. I've found that combination to be very effect for many years through a great many bouts and melees.
Ringing is more a function of helmet design and construction, rather than of the gauge material. My 12 ga. stainless bascinet rang more than anything I had ever run into, enough to be painful. The padding methodology was the key to managing that problem.
I used to get very anxious while armoring up also, like I forgot something or was doing something wrong.
I am/ as ilhelm of Chelsea I like you AL AYS suited myself up, from 1980 to 2000. I am, nO 76. I returned around 5yrs ago to find that the fighters at practice had to help each other to suit up. Seemed sad to me. They moved practice far a ay from me so I retired again. I have, I think at least 4 suits and helms, that, at one time suited my son, 2 nieces and nephe. Good luck to you
I enjoyed the video thank you for the information lot of good ideas.
i usualy only wear the minimum armour required, i just wore a trench coat for like a yr at the lith because they knew i wouldnt go to hospital/claim insurance if i got hurt which i never did because i could get out of way faster & i used to be a little punk getting into fights every day so hard bones and fast reflexes for anything about to hit me. ofc if i was to go back now id need full face helm and crap so these days i mostly just swordfight with my kid and her friends i have a forge and time on my hands so i have quite a few swords to pick from for sparing now :P
Overconfidence isn't a good replacement for sensible protection. Everyone makes mistakes, accidents happen and people do get hurt no matter how good they think they are. This applies to many activities that people participate in... and people who get hurt often have to have medical treatment, like it or not.
did you harden by boiling in water or baking? or did you boil it in wax r talow aka stearic acid? if you bake it with wiped on tallow u can get like 5kg preasure needed for awl to penertrate(boiling is like 4kgs controle 2.5kgs and if you boil it in tallow/strearic acid (not feasable for large peices due to amount of tallow u need unless your planing on opening a tannery, but you could do shoulder pads and smaller items, if you soak in melted stearic acid for 3-4 mins then bring it up to 200*f for 3 mins before removing it it should resist 7+kgs, the only way to make it harder i know of is to use expoxy resin on it which has a lot less flex than tallow boiled and actually cracks at a lower preasure than tallow boiled also its less temp tolerant, your good with strearic acid from below 0 to over 40*c ie it makes the leather 2-3x stronger more temperature tolerant, reduces water absorption to 2%(water absorption softens leather) compared to baked at liek 10% or so and boiled will absorb 26% of its weight in water if immersed for 10 seconds
I remember seeing a video you posted at Midnight Madness more than a few years ago and you mentioned taking a spear to the jaw in a battle. Was this the helm you wore at the time?
Are those plastic lags from Soft Warrior Sparta? I have a pair of those in my Saber Legion kit, but they started forming cracks very quickly. I’m a little bummed about it. I’m surprised you feel comfortable using only a plastron covered with leather for sternum protection. But I suppose I have always erred on the side of caution and end up with overly heavy kit. Welcome to SwordTube!
Erik is one of my Favorite fighters to face in the late rounds of a tournament. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for posting this was so fun to watch Erik.
When I was assembling my kit what I did for the straps was go to Walmart and by the super cheap by the yard nylon sport belt strapping and a bunch of D rings. The double ring buckles were insanely easy to sew on a sewing machine, or a pair of grommet and rivets if you don't have a sewing machine. And rivet the basic straps longer then you think you need. Then come time to armor up you don't have to mess with clasp finding a hole, the hole being in the right spot, ect. Just loop the strap through the d-rings and give a pull. If they loosen quick pull to tighten OR just tie a quick knot. I used black straps so the pass the ten foot rule and look like card woven belts. I used these because as a Pround Peon of the SCA I doubt I will ever have a squire or man at arms to help.
