The fight starts before the armor, before you pick up your stick, and before you step onto the field. It begins with an individual that is devoted to himself and understands the gravity of taking up arms against his fellow man.

I've gone and gotten myself a proper dress squires belt. Has a hand carved lost wax cast bronze belt tip even!


To be honest I lost track of posting due to work, school, and practice schedules.  It's the usual BS procrastination blurb but there it is none the less.

Lately I've been participating in a one month Crown Challenge to prepare myself for the tournament with other folks from my kingdom.  Here is the information as follows, names excluded. 



 Crown Challenge -- One Month

Hello,

I'd like to challenge everyone (including myself) to do the best they can at Crown in September. How I think we can all do better is in our conditioning, preparation, and awareness.

So, I'd like to offer the following challenge:
Every day from August 5th until September Crown (Sept 5th is the day of the Crown Tournament) do one of the following:
1) 30min of cardio
2) 30min of gym/workout
3) 30min of pellwork
4) Fight practice or fight at an event
5) 30min of video study
6) Attend an event but no fighting

Obviously there are needs for breaks due to fatigue and natural body rest and this is why I have included the video portion, and ‘attend an event but no fighting’ (that and it is a great way to immerse and analyze fighting).
I’ll try to think of a suitable reward for those of us who can complete the challenge, and I would ask that if there is anyone you think would enjoy/benefit from this to please invite them to the group.
