The SCA (Scociety for Creative Anachronism)
Is a.... society.... of people that do allot of things, mostly medevil related. LARP? Nay! Picture yourself actually wearing real armor and wielding ratan(bamboo) weapons in which you beat down or otherwise incapacitate others! The SCA has several rules/guidelines for making armor and weapons; and creates many different battle scenarios. This ain't you're mamma's fighting. Prepare to be brutalized in 2k on 2k fights against some of the best stick fighters in the world! Will you die? absolutely but in a less permanent respect then some of us may be used to. Fights vary from resurrection battles to last man standing to castle battles to bridge battles. Specialized arrows wizz about your head as giant trebuche's, catapults, and balista fight their payloads from each side of the battle. Sound insane? Bet your ass! But it's probably the most fun I've ever had in my life. Nothing is quite as rewarding as laying into another person with everything you have without the worry of injury or legal action!
Feel like you need more info? the SCA has it's own website and many video's can be found on the internet (youtube) just try looking up Estrella, which is the war I participate in. Every person, whether you know it or not, is within a kingdom even now! If you'd like to ask me any questions feel free, otherwise the website and such may explain it better then I.
Here's the website: http://www.sca.org/
Swing away!
