That's "Alternative Lifestyle Sprit Beings".

More seriously, did you swing steel or a wooden waster? I've noticed that
the SCA folk do a lot of the same backhanded, around the armor moves. I
haven't addressed SCA combat so I'm not sure if it's legal to knock an
opponent on his flanks but that's just what seems appropriate when someone
is off balance and reaching. So, what I'm gathering is that Regia combat is
a lot like SCA combat without all the protective gear. Do the helms have
face protection? If not, how do address head shots safely?
