Modern Ludus Rules and Regulations

[caiusbeerquitius]

We use wood weapons in complete free fight. Shield or all weapons lost means fight is interrupted. Shield thrown away means "I give up". Kneeling, hand raised means "I give up". Who first scores three hits to an unprotected area wins. Lot of stabbing. Historically accurate, since the prolusio in antiquity was also carried out with wooden weapons. I think this is a way more realistic display than using (a-historical blunt) metal weapons and avoiding certain stokes. My 5 cents. :-)
