Need Helps!

okay, so when we went to New York, we ate at the Medieval Times place, and now the teacher wants us to make a presentation like thing. so me and 3 other guys need ideas as to how we can impersonate a large scale, full contact, totally amazing, professional re-enactment troupe. i'm posting this in the off chance that someone out there still looks at this blog, so if you've got an idea, i'd love to hear it :D thaky all

I realize this is late, but I was sick last week and didn't have much spare energy for research.

Basic Sword Kata: Explanation of strikes and a basic kata.

You should be able to work out a boffer routine from the kata. Note: This won't make you look like a medieval sword fighter; it'll make you look like someone who "learned" a tiny bit of kendo off the internet. But it should be reasonable enough to get you through one presentation.

And here's some renfair links:

Helpful tips on finding costume pieces

A few links to Shakesperian monologues, an explanations of the proper use of thee and thou, etc

These too are of an entirely different historical era, but hey, floppy hats an Elizabethan dialogue can cover a multitude of anachronisms.
