So I made arrangements to meet with a friend of mine to pick up some stuff. When I meet him, I find out he is going to an informal gathering of weapons enthuiasists. When I get to the room, I am greeted by a mix of Irish Stick fighters, HEMA players and a couple of Dog Brothers..Sit down and watch some longsword fighting, then the Dog Brothers pair off and fight with mysoc(sp?), a weapon from Thailand kind of like tonfa. Next up, a Dog Brother with hooked walking cane vs Irish shileagh. Following this is different fighters with Shileagh vs single kali stick, then double stick and Shileagh. More sword work and as I'm heading out the door a gentleman arrives with Samurai armour and a katana. Overall an entertainimg afternoon.
