It's painfully obvious that Stav is composed of Japanese techniques that IH studied, Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:18:51 GMT _ciarin_ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3223 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3223 Stav was already discussed in the warrior guild forums, it's too bad you didn't get a look at it before posting. You might have had a better idea of the kind Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:54:18 GMT ulfrafen wodensson http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3222 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3222 Tony, Going around with a shield is no stranger than being seen going around with a long sword alone in one hand. While I am no expert, use of shield or Fri, 29 Jan 2010 04:45:49 GMT Tony Brush http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3221 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3221 Gable, I'm glad you admit your distance from Stav. Even if you don't realise its importance, others will. Re: IH's openness about his time in Japan. First you Mon, 25 Jan 2010 08:20:02 GMT leofrun http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3220 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3220 We have a copy of that book on our bookshelf. It's by Terry Brown. I haven't read it (not my thing really), but Osric may be able to comment on it.

If you have tried to post a message and it has been delayed, Mon, 25 Jan 2010 03:52:44 GMT Eosin http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3218 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3218 Yes, I have Terry Brown's book. It's a good introduction and overview. He studied kung fu for 20 years before digging into the English martial heritage. Some Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:18:53 GMT Eosin http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3217 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3217 Buckle your seat belt, as this will be a wild ride. I'll deal with the questions in sequence, as well as additional commentary. Yes, it's necessary. My name is Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:18:45 GMT Jack Young http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3216 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3216 Morning all,   I have found at my age, a 38 special with 125 grain hollow point bullet gives me good protection.  Beyond that, agruments over who did or may Wed, 20 Jan 2010 07:34:06 GMT leofrun http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3215 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3215 I use húsel. No particular reason. I guess it's just easier for me to say. Leofrun Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:11:10 GMT osric@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3214 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3214 Tony, I think Eosin was simply clarifying that there is nothing distinctly "heathen", "heathen-age" or Anglo-Saxon about Stav, not that it was an invalid Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:02:40 GMT osric@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3213 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3213 I use Husel, as faining is sort of an obscure term that isn't really attested. I am not sure what it is supposed to have meant, as the OE word it derives from Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:31:04 GMT ulfrafen wodensson http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3212 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3212 Ciarin,           I use faining most often, then husel.  It confuses a lot of Asatru, though not my intent.               Welga, Dale Tue, 19 Jan 2010 08:55:30 GMT _ciarin_ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3211 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3211 I was having a discussion with an Asatruar about some terms we use for rituals, such as blot, faining, symbel, etc. And I posted about húselgang. And the Tue, 19 Jan 2010 06:41:00 GMT leofrun http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3210 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fyrnsidu/message/3210 Also, once our donation is sent, I'll set up a link directly to the fund for people who would like to donate, but can't do so at this time.
