Activities & Fighter Practices

Armed combat is an important part of SCA medieval recreation. One-on-one tournament-style Heavy Fighting competition is how our Kings and Queens are selected. SCA combat is a serious martial art. There are several types of fighting competition:

• Rapier (Fencing) using epees and schlagers.

Marshals are the referees in charge of safety, training and supervision of SCA combat. The Angels' Marshal is .

The Captain of Rapier for Angels is . Captain of Rapier is responsible for instruction of the art of Rapier fighting as well as holding practices for the Barony.

Angels Fighter Practice  is at Recreation Park, on Tuesday evenings. Early birds arrive around 7:45pm and Practice officially starts at 8pm. Both Heavy Weapons and Rapier are taught and practiced here.

This is the same park that we use for Sunday Picnic in the Park, but a different area. At the west end of the park there is a large u-shaped driveway where we meet.

For those who are not familiar with the park, take the 210 Fwy to Monrovia and exit on Mountain. Go north to Lemon, which is the street just past the YMCA. Turn left on Lemon. The park will be on your left. To get to the driveway, turn left on Shamrock and watch for the driveway.

Picnic in the Park  is at Monrovia Recreational Park at 1pm.
Heavy Weapons Fighting takes place here as well.

Directions: From the 210 Freeway exit Mountain Avenue in Monrovia and go north (heading west make a right, heading east make a left.) Follow Mountain Ave north till you come to Lemon Ave and make a left. You will pass the YMCA on your left and PitP is directly past that on your left.
