Have recently come from Chicago (Midrealm) where I was involved in the local SCA group, and am wondering if there is anybody currently in Singapore who is an SCA member. More specifically, I am also looking for someone to practice rapier with ( I come from the Middle Kingdom ruleset, but that doesn't matter...) Thanks!

rapier? Swordfights?

So am i correct in saying that you are looking for someone to dress up like a knight and play with you and your wooden sword? Good luck...

...the closest Renaissance Fair is probably in Carcassonne!

Harsh words there, Wham - harsh words. (The town is actually in Indonesia)

There was something like this held at Fort Canning a few years back, I'd thought all the nerds got beaten up or something. I'd say check the libraries or Leisure Craft @ Orchard Point.

Guys, be nice. SCA is big business in the US and Europe. Don't confuse it with LARP (Live action role playing) which is kind of funny and geeky.

lregeane, there is no SCA in Singapore although there are some boffers around. If you've been with the SCA you night find the boffers a little less advanced than what you're used to.

Alternatively, you can now train in Historical European Swordsmanship here in Singapore. My training partner and I have recently graduated as free scholars from the School of European Swordsmanship in Helsinki. We are only teaching Fiore Longsword at the moment but I also like to fool around with CapoFerro's rapier techniques and am always looking for study partners. The Provost from Helsinki will be here next month and has promised me a couple of rapier lessons as well which I'm looking forward to.

He's a very good fencer and I'm going to get poked about again.

yes...

It does sound like you are going to get poked again - the only question is where...

I think you're just sabre-rattling, tiki
