#harnisfechten

Hitting that Middle age, gotta go on my daily old man walk. Hahaha get it?! Middle age?!?! Hahahha.hahaha. Best way to test out my armor is to take it out on a test drive! That and my neighhood loves it!! But seriously, my sabaton were killing me, glad that it was a easy fix. That and I still don't have groin protections...last piece to be made My new pauldron finally arrived, can't wait to try them on. #hema #knight #medievalarmor #medieval #knightarmor #helmet #armet #15thcentury #historical #harnisfechten #historialeuropeanmartialarts #historical #sca #larp #reenactment #wanpanscosplay #warhammer #wanpans #longsword #swords https://www.instagram.com/p/CKU22Txj8-M/?igshid=t88fvwvlbmve

Kingulus Survived a total of 3 decade! As a celebration, decided to have some fun in my kit! Did sure silly stuff in it as I was totally riding my birthday high. Better serious photo to come! Yes, Kingulus's mortal anniversary is on the same day as Chinese new year. Can you all guess how much my kit currently weight?!

First spar of the year! Mask and helmet just in case. Did some harnisfecthen duel with @chababolog . My shoulders and back are on fire...but damn, we look like a pair of cute dorks. @highlandhema suggested that we go for the traditional dueling rules. 15 clean hit with a poleaxe 25 clean hit with a sword I got a grand total of 15 hits and I'm DED. My shoulders gave out. also, first blood of the year... The S18 armet serves its purpose really well, just that my coif came loose so a rivet scratched my chin...damn. #harnisfechten #armor #hema #historical #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #martialarts #knight #knightlyweapon #weapon #poleaxe #bonk #whack #purpleheartarmory #bascinet #churburg #castle #training #workout #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaSn81jmQ7/?igshid=1ie6jd9qjg3s9

The satisfaction of sewing maille onto my armet. I will still need a hidden steel gorget..because getting an axe to your neck, even with 2 layers of riveted maille sucks.alot. Heck I am tempted to just add plates under all these mailles hahahahha. #knight #armet #steelwork #leather #leatherwork #helmet #churburg #harnisfechten #hema #historialeuropeanmartialarts #historical #15thcentury #larp #sca #reenactment #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CKKGhvKDJDZ/?igshid=1s49hpudo7x3x

When a sword is properly hung on your side, it shouldn't interfere with you in anyway..aside from being stopped by the police. Hahaha just kidding,please don't wear your sword outside.. This weekend, my armor will be getting another upgrade, can't wait for it! Its always good to have a group of friends that we can swap parts with! Like YuGiOh..but..YuGiOhARMORRRR THANK YOU AGAIN TO @highlandhema for helping me take these shots !!!! #hema #harnisfechten #armorcosplay #armorcombat #armor #kightarmor #historialeuropeanmartialarts #historical #14thcentury #bascinet #knight #knightlyweapon #sword #pollaxe #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CHPGiNkDynz/?igshid=rcaga0uu29i1

Hammering is like...99%BONK with accuracy Ahhh weekend to hammer away the fix up my poor gauntlet. @highlandhema got these for me and THEY ARE TANKY AND COMFY. Super amazing mobility and defence!!!! But because I use them for literally everything, maintained is prone to happen :/ #hema #harnisfechten #historialeuropeanmartialarts #15thcentury #14thcentury #gauntlet #hourglass #hourglassgauntlet #steel #wanpanscosplay #wanpans https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdLlOTjN0g/?igshid=o2t2u83d5e02
