During times medieval, clothing strictly dictated the social status of a person. Called the sumptuary laws, the edict on dress code and other expenses that medieval society had limited such according to class; only royalty were allowed to own and wear the richest, most luxurious items, while the poorest of the poor were the most modestly dressed of all classes.

Everyone knew their place and just from one look at a person's clothes, medieval society knew what he or she does for a living or else, his or her status in society. Just as peasants, merchants...

I suffered a heart attack on Halloween of this year. During that time, my heart stopped and I died for approximately fifteen minutes. During that time, something occurred to me that I cannot quite explain. Many people claim to have an out-of-body experience where they often see a white tunnel and feelings of peace or they are floating above their body and witnessing people working on them, but I didn't see any of this. I am not exactly sure what did happen, but hopefully this will help me get a better understanding. Here are five things I did see while I was "dead." The WhirlpoolMy wife and I were having a Monty Python Scavenger Hunt and I was sword fighting with foam weapons when I had my heart...

Improving your boffing skills is sometimes easier than you think! There is the old adage of practice, practice, and more practice. But one week I learned more than I thought I ever would, standing outside of the boffer circle. It was an experience that I did not expect and will not soon forget. Due to an injury (which had nothing to do with boffing) I was unable to participate in the battle, but had committed to bringing weapons. So I thought I would just go and watch. And it was interesting what you can see without a boffer in your hand. You saw people who consistently fought as a team. And no, they weren't a couple as you would expect. Rather they were a pair that just seemed to continually...

Anyone heard about the Great Barrier Reef of Australia ? Most of us would ask – who has not. Just like the Australia is known by the Great Barrier Reef, so is Kerala known by its backwaters. The Kettuvalloms – the Kayas (canals) – Kerala – Backwaters all are synonymous to each other. There is no other better identity of Kerala. Small canals – kayas drawing into the sea make the backwater. The water turns salty with the water of the sea and this makes place for both – the fish and the rice. Both, the raw forms of food add beauty to the surrounding lands and thus the swampy marsh waters convert into the famous and beautiful Backwaters of Kerala. Having heard a lot, I moved on to the lands...

All my life I have carried a pocket knife, so that question should be easy for me to answer. I grew up out in the country and my playground was whatever I wanted it to be. I didn't have a park with swings. I made a swing out of old rope and an old board. Since you cannot get electric out into the woods, the only tool that was necessary was my knife. My first knife was an antique knife that my grandfather gave me when I was just a kid. That knife was put on display for me to look at, but I was not allowed to play with it even when I got older. For me, that knife is a piece of history. Now that I am older and mature, I do carry that knife around with me. It makes me remember the good times and my...

The first proofs of the existence of samurai swords in Japan date from 240 BC, during the Yayoi period, when the queen Himeko sent a tribute to the Chinese dynasty Wei, two swords. In the same time, in 280 BC, they imported numerous iron swords from China. It is supposed that the art of forging the steel came immediately after that from China, through Korea, but the details are still unknown.

We must reach those who the churches normally don't contact. We must enlarge our hearts and begin to love the entire world Christ died for. No nation can own our soul. We must be citizens of heaven and go wherever God tells us to without complaining. Until you have asked God where geographically in the world He wants you to be, you have no right to remain within your nation. As citizens of heaven, we must relinquish all earthly rights and fulfill the cause of Christ. We must be mature disciples who take up our cross and deny ourselves to fulfill our missionary obligation to the world. When the cry of our heart becomes, "Thy will be done!" we also will love the frontlines of battle. When the...

Kali, from my understanding is usually a bladed weapons art. This means that they use edge weapons during training. Some methods of Kali do not use a stick at all during practice sessions. They learn how to cut & not be cut. This is a highly evolved art form because with the use of edge weapons there is little room for mistakes. When learning Kali, the student must train very slowly. Some methods use training blades. This can be real swords & daggers with dull edges or this can be weapons made out of aluminum. Sometimes the Kali student will practice with a stick but think it is an edge weapon like in the Art of Arnis. I have met some real masters of Kali and they recommend that everyone...

History: Aikido in its present form is a relatively recent innovation within the martial arts tradition. It was developed in Japan in the early 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba (1883 - 1969), who was introduced to the classical martial arts as a boy by his father, Yoroku. He is known to have studied some martial arts, such as various styles of Ju-jitsu as well as Kenjutsu and the art of the spear. Philosophy: If we are attacked by a force and we apply force ourselves, a collision of energies ensues which results in disharmony. Thus, accordingly the stronger force wins. If, however, we meet the force with an absorbing movement and then exhaust it to the point of imbalance before applying a force of...

Rome's history is vast and glorious in military terms. From the 3rd century b.c. into the 3 century a.d. the military machine of the Roman legions was almost unstoppable (yes, they had their bad defeats but overall they had successful campaigns). This article takes a look at the early Roman period in the 3rd and 2nd century b.c. The Roman army had three major unit types on the battle field with two missile troops and one main type of cavalry unit. The three foot soldiers were the Hastati, Principes, and Triarii. The Hastati were the youngest group and least experienced in the army. Their armor was not quite as good as the other two soldier types. The Hastati were the first line of attack or defense...

The Roman Empire began hundreds of years before the birth of Christ in the area now called Italy. It was one the largest empires the world has ever known. It spread across thousands of miles, from Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) to England to North Africa. The Roman Empire was so successful because they organized a huge army which was made up of self-sufficient legions, infantry units of about 5,000 men. Each legion is divided into centuries, or groups of 80 to 100 men. Six centuries make up a cohort, and ten cohorts to a legion. Members of a legion were called legionaries. Legionaries were the best-trained soldiers in that ancient time. They conquered new lands and defended the empire's frontiers from...

The glory of Rome was brought about by the power and success of the Roman imperial army. Why was the legionnaires so effective on the battle field?

Hard drilling at the barracks and superiorly trained officers made the legions very disciplined and battle hardened. However, much of their success must be attributed to the equipment and armor that they took into battle. Roman boasted technologically advanced armor and weapons for their time. The...
