I'm from the country of beer, let me promise you one if one day you come here!

It must also be very disappointing for the mature members of Belegarth to see these comments as they will tarnish your organisations reputation to outsiders.
ROS Mark wrote:Sorry you must have misinterpreted my post.
I have no problem with your criticism of the fighting style, I agree with some of it. What I don't agree with is your bad attitude and aggressive communication, especially when someone is approaching a new group in a hope to learn and to make connections with new people.
So are you saying that what Rayzen does is nothing to do with weapon combat?
Have you ever tried what you describe as "taplarpery"?

Sorry can not find anywhere in the other thread where Rayzen said he would not try SCA or would not venture out of his chosen game, correct me if I am wrong.Arrakis wrote:His next post in that thread was about how we obviously throw shots with our wrists so we should listen to him.

So are you saying you do not use your wrists when you sword fight?
Also, I can find nothing in any of Rayzen's posts where he says that you should listen to him or that he was an expert or that his style was better than your's, please correct me if I am wrong.
You seem to be twisting the meaning of Rayzen's posts a little. He has excellent intentions and is writing in his second language. I think you should modify your approach to use your experience to nurture new fighters and guests to this forum rather than laying into them. Just my opinion.

Done with this thread now.
ROS Mark wrote:Hi Anastasia,
Thank you for your comments.
I know that I do not have to respond to everyone on this forum but I sometimes choose to. I felt it was important to support my friend on this occasion and make a point.
I am always keen on making connections with other groups and strongly believe in promoting positive interactions.
If you are ever in England then you are more than welcome to visit my club.
Kind Regards
Mark

Light, unrealistic combat with severely underweight over-flexible weapons; lots of "attacks" that are just flicks with the wrist and involve no mechanics, goofy tricks and no fundamentals...
Honestly, you guys look like my local university's LARP club of people who've never been to an event and think that their tiny little pool of never-been-to-a-major-event math club and chess club folks is the coolest, best fighting group there is, despite playing a tiny local LARP with no contact with the outside world of fighting sports.

Do you have a problem with me, MeleeMoses? Have I ever met you?
