June 23 meeting cancelled

Hey everyone sorry to report this last minute but that is how much notice I got with my schedule for work. The meeting is cancelled due to scheduling conflicts and people having other projects going at that time. We will reschedule for another time so no worries. Also feel free to take advantage of a local arnis club in poulsbo area (details are on tres espadas admin on facebook).

Meeting June 23 Kingston Library

Ok everyone we are meeting at 6pm Saturday june 23 at the Kingston library. My guess is there is a ballpark across the street. We will only have 2 hours at most so we will be rushing things. This is also to test our ability to relocate when necessary. on a side note the sca demo was cancelled but we accomplished our goal by crashing a boffer tournament nearby and having continous full contact in exchange for using our weapons. Soon everyone no longer liked the boffer pillow fighting and much preferred real combat. The action especially drew onlookers which loved it when someone got face pummulled. Thanks to Jake and Sheena for helping organize this and to Jordan for sacrificing his body to be used as a punching bag.

New Weapons policy

Due to an injury at a non-club related event the long weapons will Not be permitted to be used unless you are certified to do so; ie: Polearm badge). This was mostly due to the length of the weapon as well as having no lessons in controlling blows. Also gloves will be required during All events involving tres espadas gear. We will be ordering a neck guard soon. One more good meeting donation shhould do it.

Tres Espadas Meeting May 2012

We will be meeting again at Evergreen park Saturday May 12 2012 at 12:00 noon going until 2:00 pm or so. Also we are closing in on completing the knife badge for those who have been working on it and will be moving on to baton badges next. For those that are wondering why the badges are so important, you cannot use any weapon you are not certified on using. This eliminates those people who want to powerbomb with greatswords all day with no skill or safety considerations. After an incident over at a friend's birthday party the polarms will not be allowed to used unless specifically certified to do so. No exceptions-the power generated from the naginata is astounding and someone's hand got injured.

Nate vs Daniel

We found out that Nate is just as fast charging and attacking as he is ready to strike.

Tim Vs Ben before knife video

We are filming the before video as a reference as part of the new knife badge training sessions we started recently. We will be filming an after video to see what skills the fighters learned and incorporated into their arsenal.
