I'm selling my sparring gear....not my sword, still going to keep up the practice, but everything else.
$200 For the kit. Includes barely used large mask, reinforced leather Gorget, and SPES gloves.
I'd love to see them go to the school for loaner gear, or to someone who is going to have the time to attend classes regularly.
PM me for more photos.

"Das Grublein" is a grappling game from Fabian von Auerswald's Ringbuch. One player is the "King" who has to stand with one foot planted on a marked spot. If
the King moves his foot from the spot, then he loses his place and his challenger takes the spot. But the catch is that the challenger must hop on one foot! The old books say that it is "very funny to watch."
