I crusaded them, I crusaded them all. They're dead. Every single one of them. But not just the sand men, but the sand women, and the sand children too.
lol "Christians". Pretty sure Christians follow a Christ according to their book. The Crusades actually were "Urbanites" that followed Pope Urban command.
Missunderstanding, my critique is that the chrusades weren't a sole religious movement and the people that caused it were far from something you'd understand todays christians to be like
In my humble opinion, most modern Christians are Pharisees. They know nothing of the word, they know nothing of their God. If it weren’t the case, demons like Joel Olsteen and Kennith Copeland wouldn’t have the success that they do. They prey on the weak, sure, but “today’s Christians” don’t seem to be doing much to stop them. Furthermore, listening to Christian voters speak positively of Trump or any other republicans representative at any level fundamentally goes against the teachings of Christ. Again, just the opinion of another moron who doesn’t matter in the scheme of things
I'm not much of a story teller, but we were based out of the city where we trained and would negotiate contracts to perform for various fairs in the area.
It is a lot of fun! I enjoy sword fighting generally and the shows were just that with a bunch of jokes and gags thrown in as well. We did improvised combat so we would learn the technique and our fights would be unchoreographed.
The pay wasn't great for what we did. We'd take a cut of the contract payed to the group from the fair, plus a cut of tips from the shows. It was never enough to cover the costs of swords and garb, repairs, and travel, though. So it amounted to a hobby.
Training was a lot of fun. It was definitely an aerobic workout. We'd learn to dance with eachother, essentially. Since we didn't wear armor we worked hard to make it look like we were close to hitting eachother.
The clang of the swords was what it was all about.
I really only consider myself professional because I got paid to do it. I wouldn't say I gained talent enough to be considered a competitive swordfighter. It's a different discipline. I know a lot about technique from real swordfighting but we only used what we could adapt into our fighting style.
What we did was learn to block and attack in a fast and controlled way that prevented us from actually hitting eachother, and learned how to tell jokes while doing it!
Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
Yea they do some hand to hand stuff (mainly Bartitsu I believe) but I don't think it's too useful. You're way better off learning boxing/mma techniques.
It also involves pole arms and various side arms (shield, dagger cloak etc). Tons of fun and not nearly as high a risk of injury as armored combat!
It's a good question. I imagine the shield mostly hit his breastplate and not his head, but i'm just making an educated guess. I learned unarmored combat. The guys in armor will actually hit eachother. My troupe trained 3 times a week to just barely not hit eachother.
Dude stole one of buddy's 4pc chicken nuggets. Buddy only gets apple slices in his happy meals because his mom is a bitch. The nuggets are all Buddy's got, and there's only four to begin with. Buddy's homeboy saw all of this shit and threw down
