Hello Everyone, hopefully that tittle will bring some folks in to have a look at this thread.
I am a member of a medieval group that gets together and lives the lifestyle of the medieval for a weekend or longer with a few modern amenities. In this group we do litteraly beat people with sticks. The heavy fighting section of the group is focused on armor and chivalry. The group is called the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Their website is www.SCA.org and if you interested you should visit it.
I figured this would be a good place to throw this up. I don't know if anyone else on the forum is part of some LARP group or not but that's basically what SCA is except there is no plot to follow and the fighting is somewhat real.

Stick beating at least requires some dexterity. Meh, I don't mind sports, but football? No, thanks. Anything, but not that "sport" which is more like a pack of dorks jumping on top of each other.

I like sword fights. I win 9/10 times against my friend even though he is bigger, stronger, has a longer reach and picks the biggest stick. Most of the time I don't get hit. Why? Speed matters more than strength.
Full-contact is fun, but I prefer two-hand touch. Mainly because anyone I play with is smaller than me, and they say I'm not allowed to tackle them, but they can tackle me. I can still closeline them though
I was just messing around earlier about the larping, the site looks legit and not very nerdy. I'm sure its fun, I've met several people before that host these events and it sounds like tons of fun. You get bruised up and everything. They have these epic battles and all, sounds like something we can all do someday. SICK vs All Else. We would win too easy I think.

It really depends if you're playing full-contact football or not...
