Fighting this week
This week we had 5 youth fighters in attendance and one heavy weapons fighter. Teryll and I took the opportunity to pair them up and run a series of practices. We picked the youngest two and had one fight “down” to the age group of the younger member. Then the older of the two could fight the next fighter at their normal level etc. until everyone had a chance to fight. After the combat was over Teryll and I gathered everyone together and discussed some of the reasons and rules for fighting. Things like how to behave and show respect for your opponent. When to stop and let them recover a dropped weapon and topics like that. We have enough youth fighters that we even covered some of the ideas and concepts in melee fighting.
As long as we will continue to have this many young fighters, I will need to brush up on the youth rules and become an authorized youth marshal. One more item to add to my list of things to pick up!!!
