I spend the winter cursing architects and their low ceilings. Happy to be outside with my favorite sword.

Please don’t critique my stance, I’m critiquing it enough for all of us.

I’m going to say that twice so it sticks in my head: I absolutely do not have funds for a custom-made sword.

Due to my brain trauma / disability, I don’t spar or attend classes anymore. I stay home & fight with myself.

The plastic talwar is new. I prefer steel, but need something safe to desensitize my horses.

Three swords on a reddish wood table, in bright sunlight, hilts facing the camera. Left to right: a longsword with a red wrapped hilt, a rapier / sidesword with a swept hilt and wire wrapped handle, and a black plastic talwar with a rhinoceros headed hilt.
