I pick up little tidbits from everyone. I went to an SCA practice and a couple little moves they did for noobies, I translated over to a non-headshot thats become one of my new favorite shots, and ive been fighting for over a decade now... Ill watch them soon and give you my review.
Regardless I think its very cool you took the time to make something to help the new players out. Back in my day in another sport, I had to learn by hard knocks and begging veterans to take time to show me stuff. we didnt have no fancy high faluting internet videos to watch. 5 miles uphill in the snow to meet the masters for 10 minutes of instructions each day, backwards type crap.

Arrakis wrote:Skydd, by that definition, there are very few people who hit "hard" on a regular basis in the sport. People like Peter the Quick come to mind, or Pickles, who can smash through my strap shield blocks, let alone my weapon blocks.
Most people only ever want to land a solid shot where their opponent's block isn't, not destroy their blocks and hit them anyway.
