  • We've got a couple of one-day sessions coming up: Highland Dirk on July 25, and Bowie Knife on August 29.  Complete info here and here                060809
  • We've FINALLY gotten up the full info for the Gallowglass videos on Bartitsu and Bowie Knife, conveniently of the Book & Videos page.  Also some views of some spiffy gauntlets from Matt Brundle, on (conveniently!) the Pix page.                                            050509
  • Is there anyone out here who has NOT heard about the no-nonsense marching-band girl who kicked, punched, and then baton-smacked two would-be muggers?    043009   Read about it here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090430/ap_on_fe_st/odd_marching_band_beating
  • We've posted a couple more modern-defense classes here.                                    042109
  • Maybe it's a slow news week out in the world, and probably all of you know these tidbits already, but I gotta pass 'em along:  Talk Like Shakespeare day is this Thursday (the bard's natal anniversary), and religious diversity reaches new... horizons, at least on the Glasgow police FORCE:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8003067.stm                  042109
