Markland Recreation Fighting [CANCELLED]
Teacher: William Marlow
The Markland Medieval Mercenary Militia is a non-profit historical educational organization that developed indipendently of the SCA but along a parallel course. Having a history almost as long as the East Kingdom, Markland operates mostly from the Virginias through the New York City area.

Like the SCA, One of Markland's most popular and visible activities is combat. However, unlike the SCA, combat in Markland takes two forms: Re-creation or "rec" ("Fake fighting with real weapons"), and Fratricidal or "frat" ("Real fighting with fake weapons").

Come join Master Marlow for an introduction and overview of Marklands Recreational Fighting, a style of staged combat using historically accurate garb, armor, and weapons focused around the Battle is Hastings of 1066.

Glima
Teacher: Jim Baker
Glima is the Norse word for wrestling. Wrestling has been used as one of the standard forms of warrior training though out history for hundreds of cultures. Norse wrestling has several variations of wrestling, from a modern form of belt wrestling, to a brutal MMA style, to a friendly sport style. Our introduction to Glima will be the Loose-grip style.

Individuals who take the class or who have taken it previously with Coach Baker (and with his approval) will be able to participate in some friendly competition after the class.

Rules to Participate
Surrounding glima is a code of honor called drengskapur that calls for fairness, respect for and caring about the security of one's training partners. Safe training is paramount. Please leave any bravado or attitude off the field. This is a beginner class, so please identify and training you have.

- All participants must be aware that period clothing, simple tunic and breeches are encouraged, but not mandatory. Clothing will get dirty, stained and possibly ripped. Modern sweats and tee shirts are permitted.
- No jewelry, belts or buckles are allowed to be worn by participants.
- All participants must have shortened and filed fingernails and long hair must be secured.
