Whether you\u2019re cooking a feast, illuminating a scroll, weaving trim, studying medieval languages, or crafting armor, every project begins with curiosity and grows through this process.<\/p>\n<p>We hold classes and workshops upon request and suggestion to include scribing, sewing, bardic, armor repair, and so much more!

It involves the recreation of pre-17th century archery practices and skills using traditional equipment mostly made of period-appropriate materials including longbows, recurve bows, and crossbows using wooden arrows and feather fletching. Modern equipment like compound bows, fiberglass arrows, or sights are typically not permitted with some exceptions for practices. Fortunately we have loaner gear, so you don&#8217;t need to own equipment to try it out. All you have to do is wear closed-toed shoes and show up!<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The SCA offers two main types of archery:<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Target Archery: Shooting arrows at static targets, which can range from traditional bullseyes to elaborate 3D targets or those simulating castle windows or hunting scenarios. Archers can participate in various competitions, SCA Royal Rounds, and inter-kingdom events.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Combat Archery: For those seeking a more dynamic experience, combat archery involves shooting low-powered bows with special padded arrows at armored opponents on a battlefield, similar to medieval paintball. Participants must wear the appropriate armor and undergo an authorization process to ensure safety and competence.<br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>Safety is always paramount, warranted marshals who are trained safety officers are always present at all events and practices to inspect equipment, explain rules, and ensure safe conduct on the range.

It is open to participants of all ages and skill levels, with loaner gear typically available for newcomers at practices and events. Weapons used can include:<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><strong>Axes:<\/strong> Hand-axes or hatchets thrown at wooden targets.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><strong>Knives:<\/strong> Balanced throwing knives designed for safety and ease of use.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><strong>Spears:<\/strong> Thrown at either hard wooden targets or soft targets, typically from a longer distance than knives or axes.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><strong>Specialty Items:<\/strong> Some events may allow plumbata (weighted Roman lawn darts) and slings with soft ammunition.<br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>Like archery, participants can compete in various formats, including the Standard Royal Round. This standardized test consists of 10 throws each for axes, knives, and spears at varying distances, such as 10 and 20 feet. Throwers can earn ranks based on their top three averaged scores.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>All weapons must be inspected by a trained saftey officer called (warranted marshal) before use. Ranges are strictly monitored with clear &#8220;commence&#8221; and &#8220;retrieve&#8221; commands to ensure participant safety.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>How to Start:<\/strong><br \/>The only requirement to begin is often just wearing closed-toe shoes.

Well here you can! Test your mettle and learn medieval marshal arts in\u00a0Heavy or\u00a0Armored Combat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/welcome.sca.org\/armored-combat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"What is Armored Combat?\">Armored combat<\/a>, often called &#8220;heavy fighting,&#8221; is one of the most iconic activities in the SCA, recreating medieval foot tournaments and melee battle scenarios through full-speed, full-contact competition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How it Works<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Honor System:<\/strong> Combat is unchoreographed and relies on the honor of the participants. Since weapons are not made of steel, fighters must judge for themselves if a blow would have &#8220;wounded&#8221; or &#8220;killed&#8221; them based on the force and location of the strike.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Authorization:<\/strong> Before competing in tournaments or large-scale &#8220;wars,&#8221; every fighter must undergo an authorization process with a warranted marshal to prove they can fight safely and know the rules.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Participation:<\/strong> Men and women compete together on equal terms. Youth versions of the sport are also available for participants ages 6\u201317.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Weapons:<\/strong> For SCA Armored Combat weapons are made of rattan, a solid-core grass similar to bamboo that shears rather than splinters. The use of rattan allows for full-force strikes without serious injury and more freedom in selection of practical armor as opposed to the much stricter armor requirements for using blunted steel weapons (see Experimental Steel Combat below). Common weapons include swords, maces, axes, and spears.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Armor:<\/strong> Fighters wear custom-made armor that must meet strict safety standards, including a steel helmet (minimum 16-gauge) and rigid protection for the neck, kidneys, groin, and major joints. Most armor is made from steel or leather, but even high-impact plastic is permissible as long as it is covered or disguised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Experimental Steel Combat<\/strong><br \/>In addition to rattan-based fighting, the SCA has introduced Armored Steel Combat. This experimental form uses blunted steel weapons and follows rules similar to modern Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) and Buhurt, focusing on historical 14th\u201316th century tournament techniques.

The use of rattan allows for full-force strikes without serious injury and more freedom in selection of armor from many different periods and cultures, as opposed to the much stricter armor requirements necessary for using blunted steel weapons in sports like Buhurt. Common weapons include swords, maces, axes, and spears. The most common weapon construction involves wrapping the rattan in fiber tape (helps prevent the rattan fibers from breaking apart), then covering it with two opaque tapes of contrasting colors, one signifying the striking edge of the weapon and the other the flat side.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Armor:<\/strong> Fighters wear and often custom-make armor that must meet safety standards, including a steel helmet (minimum 1.6 mm in metal thickness) and rigid protection for the neck, kidneys, groin, hands, elbows, and knees. Most armor is made from steel or leather, but even high-impact plastic is permissible as long as it is covered or disguised.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.atenveldt.org\/burningsands\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/12\/5742512570749.image_.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Yuma, AZ SCA &#8211; The Face of a Warrior &#8211; Master Patrekr&#8221; title_text=&#8221;5742512570749.image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.atenveldt.org\/burningsands\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/10\/IMG_20230805_103913-scaled.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Yuma, AZ SCA &#8211; The Face of a Warrior &#8211; Master Patrekr&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Armored Combat Fighters&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|500|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;||||on|||#FECB00|&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#FECB00&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_heading_font||||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.49)&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>How to Get Started:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Both <a href=\"https:\/\/welcome.sca.org\/armored-combat\/\" title=\"What is Armored Combat?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Armored Combat<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/welcome.sca.org\/rapier-combat\/\" title=\"What is Rapier?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rapier<\/a> fighter practices are held Saturdays, 8-10am, near Ramada #11 (Avenue A and Desert Sun Dr) of <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/y8LBYyymuqvEDdjc7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Caballero Park, 1280 Desert Sun Dr, Yuma, AZ 85365\">Caballero Park<\/a>\u00a0in Yuma, AZ.\u00a0 For notices of cancelled practices and details of upcoming activities check\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atenveldt.org\/burningsands\/news-and-calendar\/\" title=\"News &amp; Calendar\u00a0\">News &amp; Calendar<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/SBS.Atenveldt\" title=\"SBS Facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.

Unlike modern Olympic fencing, which is limited to a linear strip, SCA fencers move freely in any direction on an open &#8220;list field&#8221; and use a wider variety of historical equipment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weapons and Off-Hand Gear<\/strong><br \/>The most common weapons are full-sized steel replicas of historical rapiers. These blades are heavier and more flexible than modern fencing swords to better simulate period combat.<br \/>However, combatants are not limited to a single blade. You can choose to fight with a single rapier or pair it with various period-appropriate defensive items in your off-hand:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Daggers (Main gauche)<\/li>\n<li>Bucklers (Small handheld shields)<\/li>\n<li>Cloaks, canes, or even a second sword (Case of rapiers)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cut and Thrust<br \/><\/strong>An advanced hybrid style that allows percussive (hitting) edge-blows in addition to thrusts and draw-cuts. It often utilizes different swords, such as side-swords or longswords, and requires more rigid armor for safety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safety and Honor<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Armor Requirements:<\/strong> Fighters must be covered from head to toe in puncture-resistant material (like heavy fabric or leather). Mandatory rigid protection includes a fencing mask, a gorget for the neck, and groin protection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Honor System:<\/strong> Like all SCA combat, rapier relies on the honor of the participants to acknowledge when they have been hit. A blow to the head or torso &#8220;kills,&#8221; while a blow to a limb &#8220;disables&#8221; that limb (e.g., a hit leg requires the fighter to kneel).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Authorization:<\/strong> New fighters must undergo a safety authorization process with a marshal before competing in official tournaments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Ready to try it?<\/strong><br \/><span>Both <a href=\"https:\/\/welcome.sca.org\/armored-combat\/\" title=\"What is Armored Combat?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Armored Combat<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/welcome.sca.org\/rapier-combat\/\" title=\"What is Rapier?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rapier<\/a> fighter practices are held Saturdays, 8-10am, near Ramada #11 (Avenue A and Desert Sun Dr) of <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/y8LBYyymuqvEDdjc7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Caballero Park, 1280 Desert Sun Dr, Yuma, AZ 85365\">Caballero Park<\/a>\u00a0in Yuma, AZ.<\/span><span>\u00a0 For notices of cancelled practices and details of upcoming activities check\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atenveldt.org\/burningsands\/news-and-calendar\/\" title=\"News &amp; Calendar\u00a0\">News &amp; Calendar<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/SBS.Atenveldt\" title=\"SBS Facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.
