Women's Atlas of Recreational Combat

Welcome to the Women’s Atlas of Recreational Combat! Some recreational combat is also useful for self-defense, some is not. In many forms of combat physical prowess is secondary to strategic maneuvers or tactics. A participant who gathers useful members of a team can defeat opponents who are more physically fit. Some participants are adrenaline junkies, while others do it for historical simulation or for the glory of it. (In this context, “for the glory of it” means that participants win the admiration of friends, have stories to tell about what happened later, and look good doing it.)
