What's the weather like under those plates? 😄
But for real, that looks like a lot of fun. I wouldn't hesitate to do a round. First, I got to learn though... Swordsman VR ain't gonna cut it.

@@richardbeare11 hot and humid 😅

[@HungarianWarHorse]

@richardbeare11 check and see if theres a local club in your area, if youre near LA we have new fighter practice all the time, let newcomers try out the armor etc.

[@richardbeare11]

I just learned that there is a club that practices in a community center not even two blocks from where I live! I'm going to drop in their next practice.
I'm from canada, but it so happens that I'll be visiting LA for a month or so in October! Your Sat AM practices aren't far from where I'm staying. I'll definitely give it a go when I'm there.
