[MR] Artisans learning about fighting

[Marybeth Lavrakas]

Here's a thought-- It would be wonderful to have some
knights, white scarves, and other skilled fighters
hold classes (locally, at University, whatever) to get
people into armor and get a feel for things without
trying to bang the living heck out of them. I'm sure
plenty of people who've seen 'regular' fighter
practices and the bruises that come from them have no
intention of letting THAT happen to themselves. A
class with more of a 'demo' feel to it. It might even
result in a few more people deciding to try out
fighting for real. (Which I think is really
worthwhile...even as an unskilled fighter I got to
experience some incredible things I wouldn't have
otherwise had a clue about...)
