Manoa
From BelegarthWiki
Overview
Manoa Medieval Combat Club (Manoa MCC) is located in the city of Honolulu, on the island of Oahu.
As a member of Belegarth Medieval Combat Society, we utilize the BoW with only minor modifications. Don't worry if you're a hands on learner; we are more than happy to go over the rules during practice. Also no experience is necessary. While it is helpful to have some sort of prior sports experience, it is absolutely not required. This sport is great exercise, and you'll find that all sorts of prior life experience translates over into fighting.
As a newly formed realm, it is best to contact us for information (such as practice locations and times) until practice schedules are finalized. Additional pickup games/practices can be organized at member's request.
Equipment will be provided free of charge until you decide the sport is for you, and there is no participation fee. If you decide to stay with the sport, it is highly encouraged to eventually build your own equipment (as a bonus it will then be customized to your own specifications). You will not be on your own in this however: experienced members will be more than willing to provide any help that you need when building your equipment, and tutorials are available on this website, under "How to Build."
Based in the Manoa Valley, Manoa MCC is located on the campus of the University of Hawaii. As a RIO (Registered Independent Organization), Manoa MCC is officially recognized by the University and allowed to operate, but is officially independent from the school.
Announcements
January
Fri Feb 5th: Hemenway Hall room 208. Start time 2:30pm.
Scheduling is still a little up in the air as of this time. We're playing it by ear week to week until we settle down. At the request of several members, we'll also be playing outside at least occasionally, weather permitting.
December
Thank you all for the excellent first run of Manoa MCC. Since we just got back from Thanksgiving Break, and we only have 2 weeks of school left until finals, there will not be any further practices this semester (to save all our sanities).
Practice will resume bright and early next semester, either the first or second week of school. Keep updated on further announcements here, or e-mail ManoaMCC@hawaii.edu to sign up for the mailing list. If you participated during the month of November, and have an opinion on which practice room you liked the best, please e-mail with your opinion.
Otherwise have a great winter break, build some weapons (Category:How to build), and we'll see you in January! (And if you would like some building supplies from the mainland, such as Walmart blue foam, fiberglass rods, and/or black 'hockey tape,' let me know!)
During the month of Nov, we will be trying different rooms to see which works the best.
