I've seen a few examples of SCA developed combat styles that would seem very vulnerable to such attacks.
I would also expect flail style weapons to be entierly forbidden for SCA fights. |
The guy we had at the store sad that some attacks with natural weapons were legal, like body checks, but that punching and kicking were not. This was of course for his group which may or may not be the norm. Also, I built a flail similar to that. It was three strands of weed eater line with a golf ball on the end, all braided together. and wrapped in tape. Something similar might be legal if it were made with tennis balls and the cord was not excessively long.
Side note: When making a flail type weapon make sure you either know how to use it, or that the cord it too short to let the striking mass reach your hand. (I had to take about 7 inches out of mine
)
