Cumann Bhata ("Stick Society") Camp 2006.  C-c-old in late-mid-May in Ohio!  Bruno ('way backlit) is from Brazil, and nearly froze his.... fightin' stick.

  These bleary folks were the sharp kids Allen taught "Introduction to the Arte of Defence" out at Highland Community College in 2005. 

Okay, now we're into the More Reasonably Called Recent Seminars:

Above, of course, is Sean Hayes' 1.33 seminar in April 2007. 

Tim Lyon taught a day of introductory Fabris rapier on April 7.

Early June brought out a cadre of instructors for Scholars Weekend:

EquiSims (TM pending, no doubt!) built by Patrick Bailey for his mounted combat segment were the hit of the event.  Karl Jacob taught medieval grappling, Michael Pennock presented 19th C. saber, Tracy Kopecky taught Pallas Armata rapier play, and Allen Reed led the class in cane-as-weapon techniques. 

And then the very next week, Ken Pfrenger came out to teach Irish cudgel, collar-and-elbow wrestling, and classic pugilism. 

  Who is that guy in back?  Our Mr. SparPro is such a ham.....

And a couple of shots from November '07's Intro Bartitsu, about at least one of which I cannot bring myself to comment, lest I say something, er, un-Victorian.  Not quite pukka, you know. Or un-funny
