Adding straps to Northstar Armoury arms

Do you have an overwhelming need to surround yourself with big, strong, protective arms? Maybe you've found the right pair, but something's missing. I'm talking about the straps of course! You can't put on arm armor without straps! Well that's exactly what happened to me when I purchased a pair of stainless steel splint arms from North Star Armoury. Let me show you how I added straps to my arms, in painstaking, meticulous detail.
Unfortunately, North Star Armory is no longer on Etsy. It seems to have been a part of Etsy's mass vender culling. That happened to the other vendor I used in this video too, 4UrbanViking. It's a shame too, because they sold some really nice buckles. If you really want a pair of these arms, you can contact North Star Armory on facebook:

Not sure where you can find 4UrbanViking. But Nadler Metal Crafts is still around!

Somethings you may want to experiment with. you may want to consider moving laterally in a fight, this is best done when your foe commits' to a strike and you time your step to the side to change the angle of attack. Also when advancing sometimes it is also good to incorporate attacking not head on but at a slight angle to the left or right of your foe. (Its like walking to someone but not dead on, but walking at a slight angle of 10-20 degrees left or right. you may also want to consider to tighten up your striking form, you wind up a bit before a strike giving your foe time to see it coming, try to make your cuts sudden without cranking your shots. Anyways in two years you made a lot of progress and im happy your still fighting on the SCA. keep at it bud, your awesome!

@@davedudeip Great advice, thanks! I get the feeling that my swords are heavier than normal, because moving them without “cranking” doesn’t seem physically possible.

[@davedudeip]

@@LordXerus A lot of power can be generated by makeing sure your engaging your hips, It is important to keep your sword in a high guard, I use hanging guard quite a bit, the idea is if you start with your sword hand low, you need to rase it before throwing a power shot, if your sword hand starts from,a high postion you dont need to crank before your shot. the faster you move your hips the more power you get from a shot.
