Hmm . . . mayhaps this item should be linked to rialto.
In any case, I am a member of the Ring of Steel Action Theatre. Anyone
else into re-enactment or stage combat?
5 responses total.

I used to know someone in RoS...
Do you know anything about the Art of Combat group in Lansing?

Nope, sorry.

Well, this seems like the most appropriate conference and item in which
to consider a concern.
I am concerned because it seems that the rules for advancing in RoS
have changed once again. This is not so much a problem for me as it is
for my partner with whom I will attempt to certify in rapier.
It seems that before she is allowed to perform the certifying fight
with rapier, she must work a simpler fight (also a rapier fight) with a
scene and perform that. Hopefully, she will bring it before the
Maestro at tonight's meeting. And if she doesn't, I might.

Turns out what I thought would be a problem isn't. That partner and I
have attempted to certify in rapier twice.
I am getting disappointed in RoS, due to its recent devolution. My
reasons for choosing RoS over any other group were: real weapons, and
minimal emphasis on acting. However, 2 new bitches that Chris seems to
think are gifts from God are given a whole bit of practice to lead.
Honesetly, I don't give a shit if they've had years of acting
experience - you can have years of experience in anything and still
suck at it. More to the point, by the ranks of the club, I outrank
them, so why the hell should I have to take orders from them? Why do
we even have ranks at all if they don't matter?
