Rounding Out

With only a week and a half until the tournament, we've been rounding out the team's skill sets, making sure they have an understanding of weapons and techniques that have only been lightly touched upon.

Script-writing is down to the finale, which is proving more difficult than hoped. But hey, hopefully fifth time's the charm.

Well, that's about all for this week. Until next time!

Arming Ourselves

Greetings one and all!
This week, the team assembled to turn out a large number of padded weapons in preparation for the tournament in August. The jury's still out on whether they'll be enough...
 

Sunday, the team proceeded to practice with said weapons, developing their preferred loadouts for the great event.

Also, with the new perspective on our work, I can say that script writing is finally in full swing again, and going quite well. One of the ideas from earlier this year is being revamped and repurposed under the new outlook.

Anyway, that's about all for this week. Until next time!

A Cut Above

Hello again! This week has been quite interesting thus far. First off, Joe (one of our long time stunties) came back to the state for a visit, and just in time to surprise a fellow minion and join in the dueling session.

We ran a multi-tiered dueling exercise, which everyone found quite challenging, and underscored the differences between one-on-one combat, and the chaos of the multi-combatant melee.

Also, we've been working on putting together the story of us, what makes our group unique, and why we do what we do. The answers to some of the questions put to the team have been surprising, but have also generated a happy side effect. They've cast my end of the job in a new light, and have given me new inspiration and direction in my writing. I look forward to seeing what comes of it. :)

Well, that's about all for now. Until next time!

Sniping

Greetings, one and all!

This week had a bit of a broad focus. Our last meet kicked off a lot of discussion about how the team can gain support for our next project, what our story is, and many other things.

The stunt team did a little sniper practice, using padded arrows to try to hit a moving target...

That ran until fingers and arms were very tired.

Well, that's about all for this week. Until next time!

Preparing for the Clash

Seems like Summer just started, but we're already only a few weeks out from the August tournament. Crazy.

With that ahead of us, the stunt team has been spending more time in free-form combat and dueling exercises, pushing their understanding of the art from ideals and forms into the more practical aspects.

 

 

 

 

On top of that, we are also starting to bring the pieces together to build our next project, but more details on that as they take shape. I'm looking forward to the days ahead...

Well, that's about all for this week. Until next time!

*Crickets*

So... this is different. Usually there's something to say on a Wednesday, even if it's pretty mundane. But this week the stunt team took Sunday off for Father's Day, and the only other news we have cannot be announced quite yet. So... yeah. Quiet week.

Ah well... See y'all next time!

Archery and Adventuring

Greetings, one and all! This week was a bit of a switch-up. On Sunday, the team got to practice archery, which is a decided change of pace from what we've been doing lately.
 

Tuesday, several of us went on a bit of an exploratory mission, looking for interesting places that could be used for shoots. About four hours of hiking netted us a handful of such places.

              
Well, that's about all for this week. Until next time!
