Was wondering if any sword knights out there would take a few moments to take a quick questionaire. I think it'll make for good newsletter/article material and would be good for any kiddos out there wanting tips and tricks from the pros.
If your not a Sword Knight but still want to chime, please do. The more replies the better.
So for all who take the time to fill this out, thanks much!
-----------------------------------------------
General:
1.) How long have you played Amtgard?
2.) How long did it take you to earn your sword belt?
3.) Did you initially set out to be a sword Knight?
4.) Where were you knighted?
5.) What Sword Knight did you aspire to be like or beat?
6.) Who where you squired to before getting your sword belt?
7.) Did you wait to be approached or did you request a squire's belt?
Tactics/Techniques:
8.) What was your best training tool/method?
9.) What does footwork mean to you?
10.) How did you improve on footwork?
11.) Following through with your shots, natural talent or honed?
12.) How did you acquire the follow through instinct?
13.) Shoot and body placement, how and why are they important?
13.a) Fainting and baiting, do you rely on em and why?
13.b) What works best for you?
14.) Getting that saving hand block in, how did you get that "7th sense?"
Advice:
15.) What would you tell an aspiring Sword Knight?
16.) What does that sword belt mean to you?
17.) Can an individual make it without being a squire?
18.) What's the best way to approach you for some advice/tips?
19.) What kind of spirit does it take to be a sword knight?
20.) Is it all about getting the belt or striving to better one self?
-----------------------------------------
Thanks so much all. And keep a look out for the other three belted knight questionaires! I'd like to publish and or merely share the information gleened from replies for any and all aspiring and hopeful knights who will make up the ranks in the future.
Next week:
Serpent Knights
