I know,I know,but there are a couple of groups that youd think we're doing the same thing,that honestly are kind of faggy.
How I got involved with it was the following
"Ok let me get this right,I get to hit someone as hard as I can with a large stick?"
"Right"
"And nobody calls the cops?"
"Right"
"Where do I sign up for this?"

And No-S,Boxing/Martial Arts is WAY safer,in the 30 years Ive been involved in those Ive gotten concussed a few times,my nose broken a few times,not really major league big problems.
OK there was the one belt test that ended with my hand in a bucket of ice water for a very long time because I muffed a down block.
The SCA,can be hell on earth some days.
Your wearing close to 70 pounds of steel and leather,and your fighting every weekend like I was,theres something red oozing out of the cracks in the steel,and it aint Kool Aid. And then theres the armor bites,when its a hundred degrees,and sweat is pouring in to what is an open infected wound,you notice that.
Boxing the worst thing that happens,you take two months off to contemplate the error of your ways.
My wifes parents are all upset she's involved in boxing,I find myself constantly chuckling,thinking,"She fought SCA for well over a decade,do you have an idea how much safer boxing is?"
No ref on earth would allow you to continue with a broken wrist,in the SCA, I got away with,"Screw it, Ill fight left handed"
