New Cut & Thrust Combat Handbook Commentary Request

February 2, 2026 | Kelly McKinnon

The Society Marshal, Society Rapier Marshal and Society C&T Deputy are
pleased to make available for commentary the approved draft of the new Cut
& Thrust Handbook. Commentary will be accepted through March 30, 2026.

This new C&T handbook is part of the ongoing modernization effort, which is
updating ALL the marshal handbooks in conjunction with updates to the
marshal related sections in Corpora. The goal is to better reflect the
current structure, culture, and safety best practices we use today in our
SCA martial activities.

One of the most significant changes is the modernized format, designed for
easy online access and usability. With clearer layout, improved navigation,
and consistency across all marshal handbooks, this new format makes it
easier for both newcomers and experienced participants to find the
information they need quickly and confidently.

The new online Cut & Thrust Combat handbook and supporting material can be
found at https://society-rules.fullmesh.co.nz/index.php/Main_Page. Also
available at this site:

· A PDF version of the proposed new handbook

· Cliff notes on the C&T Handbook, with a summary of the changes

· A FAQ on the overall rules moderation process, the new handbooks and
format

Important Dates: Similar to the new Rapier Combat Handbook, a multi -month
process is being used to improve communication and transparency. The
timeline is aligned with the current ongoing Rapier Handbook commentary and
approval process, so that both handbooks will enter their final form and
approval at the same time.

The timeline is:

– Feb 2 thru March 30: C&T Combat Handbook is open for commentary. This
version has been approved by the BoD for commentary for 60 days.

– March – April: Updates to the handbook will be developed based on the
commentary.

– April 1: New handbook with updates resulting from received commentary
will be submitted to the BoD for final review and approval.

– May 20: Both the new C&T and Rapier Combat handbooks will be in effect
(if approved during the April BoD meeting).

Please email all commentary to marshal at sca.org and rapier at sca.org, and use
the title “New C&T Handbook – commentary” in the subject line. CC’ing your
Kingdom Rapier/C&T/Fencing Marshal is highly recommended.

Most of the content is shared between the Rapier and Cut and Thrust
Handbooks. If you have already provided feedback on the Rapier Handbook,
and your comments are not specific to cut and thrust, you do not need to
send your feedback again.

Commentary must be received no later than March 30, 2026.

In Service,

Arabella da Siena

Society Marshal
