first to get knocked out and to deploy a parachute loses!

reminds me of this cool sci fi concept art for roller derby jousting with a rifle

by pirata

I’m an ar-15 guy only because its the sole rifle I own besides a ruger 10/22. I have a lot of handguns though!

I would like to try kendo or iaido someday but I don’t to invest in a whole new kit apart from my HEMA gear..

1467. From a manuscript by Talhoffer depicting trial by combat for resolving legal disputes between Germanic women and men.

This form of legal trial developed due to a 1276 Augsburg law that required women who accused men of sexual violence to fight without a champion if there were no witnesses present to the crime. These judicial duels often begin with the man in a pit or a tub, equipped with a wooden mace, while the woman circles above, slinging or palming a stone wrapped and “loaded” into the sleeve of her chemise. The difference in height is meant to level any physical advantage of biological sex.
