I hosted a Day of Combat in Redding today. We have eight fighters on the field and a few guests. The event site had a variety of terrain available to us, so we started with 10 melees in a hollow/grove, then moved to a gravelly location for another 2 melees, followed by 2 melees in a rocky dry creek bed, and finished with one scenario melee of President in a slightly less rocky section of the creek bed where there was a lot of young willow growth. The temperature ranged from low 90s and up, possibly over 100 in the creek bed, however everyone stayed hydrated and there were no injuries besides the normal bruising.
Afterward, we reconvened at the Redding Dojo for food, a review of the video, and a little bit of Bushido Blade on the PS1.
