Agreed was the same when I was in school. Then I'd come home and tell my dad and he would be like they is warriors they ain't no faggots.(thick country accent) thank god I had my dad growing up to keep me on track and not believing the propaganda.

Start punishing mistakes with a nice left hook Will you're too soft on all us young'ins haha

Jokes aside, great footage guys and nice to see everyone making it out to train despite the cold.

We'll have to do some sparring sessions this summer.

I've gotten rusty living up in the mountains -- first time sparring in months and my defense was noticeably worse

Thought you looked good. You definitely move around good.

@Reinhard Wolff you’re still just as aggressive, which is a good sign. The rest is just mechanics.

We also learned that scrapping in freezing weather is pretty close to any other kind of scrapping once you get moving.

@Reinhard Wolff Without being sycophantic, that’s one of the things I know about you that I knew would make you a good leader. Most intelligent guys aren’t aggressive; their imaginations take over and they tend to be conservative. When you spar with an intelligent guy who is aggressive - that’s a rare combination. I’ve watched you spar with guys who outweigh you by between 25 and 75 pounds and your instinct is still to press the attack. There’s something about fighting that lets you get to know a man in a way that sitting down to dinner won’t.

@Deleted User @Reinhard Wolff @Deleted User Nice, guys!! Once I get my Jeep fixed I'll try my best to make it some time! @Mark Vandal Ouch!! Been there before, feels bad, man.

Sorry to hear that @Mark Vandal

@Mark Vandal Aye but now you can think of your current physical state as a challenge to overcome. If there's one thing I've learned about IE guys, they love overcoming challenges.

challenges exist to be overcome

Using indoor resistance machine, which forces you to output a set wattage. If you pedal slower, the intensity automatically ramps up to maintain the same wattage output, you cannot rest, you cannot escape. Just like how 300 lbs in the gym is always 300 lbs, 300 watts is always 300 watts, no matter how fast or slow you go.

@Robtheroman where was that filmed?

17 months later, got blue.

Nice!

Well done, brother! @Deleted User

getting big!

@Deleted User Well done!

@shyguy you can take a selfie without making a bugman face

@Tanner - SC implying thats actually a picture of me

nuttin personal kid

You post a picture with no context, it’s misinterpreted, and you call me “kid”?

😎

I would love to learn the art of Swordsmanship but I'm not sure where to start. Is that actually a thing you can get lessons in now days?

I'm really glad that isn't you @shyguy

Thanks everyone!

@Warren H I would check out the hema channel on the server, and try to find an hema or sca group near you.

@Tanner - SC I think “kid” is just a turn of phrase that I’m hearing more and more again these days. Used to be popular around my way in the 90s, and isn’t demeaning or disrespectful.

@Warren H I enjoyed shinkendo.
