@vitalis how common even *was* the sort of grass cover we typically see today in medieval europe anyway...

hmm good question 🤔

the HEMA clubs I mainly go to are outdoors so I have more experience fencing on dirt or grass than I do on flat flooring. I think there is something to fighting on uneven ground that fencers that only practice at indoor schools miss out on adapting their footwork to. I also have to admit I have had pretty epic moments where we kick up dust as we slide around during a fight outside.

@vitalis oh definitely

nearly all my practice was either indoors or at night and seeing a sword in sunlight was always so bizarre and disorienting 💀

do you still fence? 👀

@vitalis not since the plague -_-;
