The Everyday Knight

Finally, our experiences and impressions of the Historic Medieval Battle meeting we attended in Novi, Michigan. A fascinating experience made possible by Rich Elswick, and the Detroit Fight Club. https://www.facebook.com/DetroitFightClub

Apologies for some of the poor audio quality in the interviews. Guys hitting other guys in armor makes for a lot of background noise. Who’da thought?

We had hoped to get our impressions of the Historic Medieval Battle combats out this week. We had a great time and talked to some interesting folks and saw some terrific fighting. Reviewing all the interview clips and editing them into our podcast along with our impressions is more challenging than we anticipated. But We are working on it, and hope to put it out as our next release.

A special thanks to Rich Elswick for hooking us up and getting us in. As well as all the generous people that took time to talk to us. So you should anticipate a very interesting Chapter very soon. Look for it!

We are all taught as children that being honest and truthful is ‘Good,’ and that lying and being dishonest is ‘Bad.’ We try to look at how the virtue of honesty is manifest in modern life and how, to varying degrees, it is virtuous. We also examine how, without being tempered by other virtues such as compassion, honesty can become a vice.

To the medieval knight, courage in battle was paramount. In this chapter we talk about how courage is manifested in modern day life and the circumstances that are more likely to be faced today.
