Well, if ,again, there's no need to preserve one's own dignity
 , among friends, here's a couple of shots from a demonstration we did of 17th century Spanish swordsmanship. We were asked to please wear more or less period-ish attire, so, we tried to oblige as some Tercio's soldiers...To me, swordsmanship is a field of knowledge I add to my study of antique weaponry. It is fun to an almost obscene level, also...  The weapons are modern reproductions to be used as trainers, I hope they comply...

Yo Federico!
Menacing pic of you and your crew! Before you think about getting inked again, you might want to check out these guys and have a traditional Filipino design done that tells your story. http://members.asianavenue.com/apat_na_alon/ http://members.asianavenue.com/APAT_NA_ALON_2/ http://members.asianavenue.com/APAT_NA_ALON_3/ http://members.asianavenue.com/APAT_NA_ALON_1/ http://members.asianavenue.com/APAT_NA_ALON_4/ I'm considering it...but in VISAYAN style, of course  !Mark, I must have missed that South Park episode...you didn't happen to kill Kenny with that dha hmyaung  !
