So, you have one of those crazy people in your life who like to play with swords and whack each other about in tin cans. Sure, we all know they are crazy. However, putting them in straight jackets and sending them off to some asylum may seem excessive. So, instead of giving in to your inner urges and screaming at them, here are a few ideas for shopping for your modern medieval warrior. One other point of clarification. I make no money suggesting these items. I am doing it so I can continue to hit others as much as possible. Is that too much to ask?

1. Forged Foam HMB starter set($140). No matter what league you fight in, having a soft-kit training set is essential to practice fighting in a safe way. Nobody likes to fight alone, so here is a starter set for you and your favorite punching dummy!

2. Protect your noggin! Head protection is a must. I have been looking to change away from my normal dipped foam head protection with face protection to this gear. They use this for FULL CONTACT stick fighting. It also closely duplicates what your warrior wears in the lists!

3. Body Gear is always a great investment. It allows your fighter to up the realism and intensity in practice while keeping safe. This body protection looks very similar to the Mongol style kit and would be an excellent piece of gear to complete their soft kit.

4. A Thor's Hammer Necklace to rival all others from Grimfrost (Wolf King Chain Mjölnir). A warrior is weaker when they do not wear a necklace that exudes the power of the gods. Your sword striking power gets a +8 to all of your hits when this necklace is worn. Don't leave your warrior weak and lame. Get them this necklace fast!

5. Every warrior needs a sword! Don't leave your warrior hanging with some weak steel while fighting in the lists! Craig Nadler has a great entry level falchion that is hard hitting and will bring fear to their enemies as your warrior rains down hell upon them.

6. Worried about your knight losing his head? Might we suggest a great chin strap! Don't be there in the stands worried about your fighter losing their head. Windrose Armoury makes an excellent chin strap to add to any helmet. With just a few minutes time, you can have your knight upgraded and have them safer as they fight in the lists.

7. What home decor is complete without chainmail? Make your fellow fighter right at home with this nice throw pillow home addition. While keeping fighting and safety always on your warrior's mind, this handy throw pillow doubles and protection during any spontaneous pillow fight. Your warrior could emerge the victor every time they get off the couch or bed!

8. Last but not least.... ARMOR. For those who have the budget and the stomach to allow their warrior to join the lists in full metal awesomeness, I suggest you head over to Craig Nadler's shop. He has a complete kit ready to go with some great prices. Craig always backs his stuff and has the fastest delivery of armored awesomeness in the business. Shop Craig and Save!!!
