Friday 4 May 2012

A very big thank you to Purple Heart Armouries for donating the first prize for the EBBMA tournament.
The dussack has been especially carved with "EBBMA Dussack Champion 2012" and some tasteful and quirky images from the Macclesfield Psalter.
As you are most likely aware PHA make the dussacks which we use as our standard started tool, you may be able to see from  the above pic that they have made some improvements, thickening out the grip and extending the edge strip to the tip good improvements on an already great tool.

Equipment List
An update to the expected equipment and stockists we use, I have also made a note of suppliers we are building orders with, in case anyone in the school wishes to add to the order...

Mask: Leon Paul this is a class requirement, Leon Paul masks are of a consistent and high standard, this is the manufacturer you will be expected to use.

Back of head protection: there are several styles of BOH protection, at the moment I recommend SPES Historica  (order build in progress)

Throat protector: PBT are making a very good one which offers a degree of collar protection, and a good hard throat plate, we encourage people to order through PBT UK



Gloves: for longsword sword and buckler and the like the Sparring Glove, at the moment the site seems to be down, I will link as soon as we have news.
Recommendations for rapier will be coming soon.

Breaches: PBT UK

Jacket: the Axel Pettersson jacket, we have three of these in the class now, and I am increasingly impressed by the build, strength and flexibility of this jacket from SPES Historica  (order build in progress).

A list of weaponry used in class will be coming soon...
